Marion Barry Youth Leadership Institute

Marion Barry Youth Leadership Institute www.twitter.com/myli_dc The Mayor's Youth Leadership Institute (MYLI) was founded in 1979 by Mayor Marion S. Barry Jr.

as a year-round program to train District of Columbia youth in the concepts of leadership and self-development. The MYLI training model emphasizes practical, hands-on experience and a holistic approach to developing leaders for the 21st century. Each year, 250 young people participate in the year-round program and 500 youth participate in the Summer Training Program. Thousands of DC youth have rec

eived leadership training to date. Members of the Mayor's Youth Leadership Institute come from every part of the city and are racially and socio-economically diverse, representing the rich diversity of the District of Columbia. The goal of the institute is to prepare each cohort with an enriching 4-year experience that prepares them for higher education, the world of work, and to be productive and active members of their communities and of the world. Since its inception, MYLI has produced alumni successful in numerous fields, including government, business and entertainment. In 2005, At-Large Councilmember Kwame Brown, an alumus of the institute, introduced the Mayor's Youth Leadership Institute Act of 2005, making MYLI a legal and permanent fixture in the District of Columbia. Now in it's 35 year, the Mayor's Youth Leadership Institute is ready to prepare yet another generation of leaders to make our city a better place to live.
