SUMMARY:Lead Where You Live
DESCRIPTION:November 25\, 2026 | 6 PM – 6:45 PM CST\nGreat leaders aren’t born\, they’re built through action. In this engaging conversation\, youth changemakers share the journeys behind their community impact projects\, from the moment they recognized a need to the challenges they overcame and the lives they changed along the way. Joining them is a public service leader whose own career began the same way theirs is starting now\, with a willingness to show up for their community. Together\, they’ll connect the dots between the skills built through service-learning\, organizing\, problem-solving\, working across differences\, and the career paths in public service\, nonprofit leadership\, and civic life that those skills can open. Youth attendees will leave with real talk about what it takes to turn community involvement into a career\, plus direct access to ask questions of people doing the work right now. This is a chance not just to be inspired\, but to start building the experience that gets you there. \nGuest speakers coming soon!\n  \nFor questions\, or to schedule a consultation\, please contact us at nylcweb@nylc.org.This event will take place on Wednesday\, November 25 at 6:00 PM CT via Zoom.

SUMMARY:The Age of Mentorship
DESCRIPTION:December 9\, 2026 | 6 PM – 6:45 PM CST\nMentorship has always been framed as something that flows in one direction: from older to younger. But leadership does not have an age restriction. This session challenges the traditional mentor/mentee model\, exploring what happens when we redefine mentorship around lived experience rather than years lived.  \nJoin us to learn what it actually takes to build partnerships where young people and older adults learn from each other as equals. Panelists will unpack how peer-to-peer networks are reshaping the way young leaders can find support\, and how cross-generational relationships can move beyond advice-giving into genuine collaboration. Youth attendees will leave with a new framework for thinking about who they can learn from and lead alongside\, plus concrete ideas for building the kind of intergenerational networks that fuel long-term leadership growth. \nGuest speakers coming soon!\n  \nFor questions\, or to schedule a consultation\, please contact us at nylcweb@nylc.org.This event will take place on Wednesday\, December 9 at 6:00 PM CT via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Teaching Democracy Through Everyday Learning
DESCRIPTION:January 20\, 2027 | 12 PM – 1 PM CST\nCivic engagement doesn’t have to be limited to government or social studies classes—it can be embedded across every subject and grade level.

SUMMARY:From Research to Action
DESCRIPTION:February 10\, 2027 | 2 PM – 3 PM CST\nGood intentions aren’t enough to build programs that actually work\, evidence is. This session looks at how research moves from the page into practice\, turning data and findings into programs that genuinely meet young people’s needs. Featuring university partners working alongside nylc\, the conversation explores how evidence shapes program design\, what it takes to translate academic research into real-world tools\, and why the strongest youth programs are the ones built on a foundation of evidence\, not assumption. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to bring a research mindset into their own work\, asking better questions\, testing what works\, and building programs that hold up under scrutiny. \nGuest speakers coming soon!\n  \nFor questions\, or to schedule a consultation\, please contact us at nylcweb@nylc.org.This event will take place on Wednesday\, February 10 at 2:00 PM CT via Zoom.

SUMMARY:The Power of Youth-Adult Partnership in Civic Education
DESCRIPTION:March 11\, 2027 | 3 PM – 4 PM CST\nReal youth engagement isn’t a seat at the table\, it’s a hand on the wheel. Too often\, civic education programs talk about young people instead of building real partnerships with them. This session brings together leaders who are doing it differently\, working alongside youth as co-designers and decision-makers\, not just participants. They’ll discuss what authentic youth-adult partnership actually looks like in practice: shared ownership over program design\, honest conversations about power and trust\, and the structures that make space for young people’s voices to shape outcomes\, not just inform them. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for building partnerships where adults and youth lead together\, and a clearer sense of what changes when civic education stops being something done for young people and starts being something built with them. \nGuest speakers coming soon!\n  \nFor questions\, or to schedule a consultation\, please contact us at nylcweb@nylc.org.This event will take place on Thursday\, March 11 at 3:00 PM CT via Zoom.
