Summer Youth Leadership Institute (SYLI) Application 2021 |
SYLI Application 2021
Building Bridges for Youth's Summer Youth Leadership Institute (SYLI) is a unique program that helps empower and provide tools for students to become Youth Leaders. This year, SYLI will be completed online.
Participating youth must have previously attended Building Bridges Camp and be in high school for the 2021-2022 school year. This program focuses on developing facilitation skills, dialogue immersions, and deeper exploration of historical and contemporary forms of oppression and movements for justice. Students should be capable of participating in activities and dialogue that challenges them to discuss their attitudes and experiences about prejudice, bigotry, racism and other forms of discrimination. Students should be able to be on Zoom for the whole program, and share their camera in order to build community with fellow campers.
