ABOUT | LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

The Leadership Institute’s (LI) mission is to increase the number and effectiveness of conservative activists and leaders in the public policy process. The Institute identifies, recruits, trains, and places conservatives in government, politics, and the media.

ABOUT | National Youth Leadership School - Washington DC

The National Youth Leadership School (YLS) is the Leadership Institute’s flagship training, held once a year at LI's Headquarters outside Washington, DC. Often called “the boot camp of politics," this two-day intensive course is an essential program for anyone who wants to achieve success in the political process.


By attending a Youth Leadership School, you receive the comprehensive campaign activism training to become an effective youth leader for candidates and causes of your choice. Many students take their energy and momentum from their campus leadership and turn it into a political force on election campaigns.


The Youth Leadership School teaches you how to:


  • Organize large numbers of volunteers and voters to expand outreach
  • Grow the size and effectiveness of your group
  • Motivate volunteers with exciting and meaningful projects
  • Host high-profile speaker events and impactful activism projects on campus
  • Create eye-catching signs and literature to gain favorable media coverage



Thanks to the generous support of Leadership Institute donors, full scholarships are available for a select number of students. To apply for a scholarship, please select “scholarship registration,” when applying for this training.


Full scholarships cover your flight, lodging, meals, materials, and in some locations, an excursion after the training. Scholarships are for first-time YLS students only.


Your registration also includes a resume consultation to help your career advancement.


If accepted scholarship to this program, you have the option to stay an extra night on July 4th to celebrate and participate in activities centered around our nation's 250th birthday!
