(Sacramento, CA) -- Assemblymember V. Manuel Pérez (D-Coachella) today announced that applications are now being accepted for the 27th Annual Chicano Latino Youth Leadership Project (CLYLP) Summer Conference and urged students to apply. The deadline for filing applications for the youth conference is Monday, April 13, 2009.
The CLYLP Summer Conference is a premier leadership conference open to current 10th and 11th grade California high school students. Selected students participate in a week long conference in Sacramento, CA where they attend powerful workshops and seminars that enhance their leadership skills, academic preparedness, and gain an understanding of state and local government.
“The CLYLP summer conference is a unique program that prepares students to become California’s future leaders,” said Assemblymember Perez. “In these times of budget cuts to our education system it is important that students take advantage of opportunities that enhance their educational experience – CLYLP provides students with such an opportunity.”
This year’s conference will take place in Sacramento at the California State University, Sacramento campus from July 25th – August 1, 2009. One hundred twenty (120) applicants will be selected to participate in the conference. Students selected to participate attend at no cost to themselves or their families.
About CLYLP:
Founded in 1982, the CLYLP is a volunteer-run, non-profit, non-partisan organization, which receives major support from the California Latino Legislative Caucus, the University of California system, the California State University system, the California Community Colleges, the California Teachers Association and over 50 private foundations and organizations. More than 3,000 California high school students have participated in the summer conference with over 90% of CLYLP participants going on to attend college. Through the training and tools provided at the summer conference, CLYLP alumni become successful leaders in both the public and private sector, becoming, among other things, successful educators, policymakers, business persons, doctors and attorneys.
