Biographical / Historical Note
The Latino Youth Leadership Conference (LYLC) was first organized in 1993 through the Latin Chamber of Commerce Education Committee with the purpose of increasing college attendance among Latinx youth and developing their leadership skills. The first LYLC was held in 1994 as an intensive three-day long leadership training program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) campus. The LYLC allows students to strengthen their leadership skills, encourage them to pursue post-secondary educational opportunities, and gives them opportunities to interact with business, community, and political leaders. The LYLC is entirely volunteer run and is coordinated by over 25 LYLC youth alumni.
