NCYLS was a really warming and exciting experience that I truly learned a lot from. I was initially very nervous coming in at first, but it definitely made me feel at home and I quickly got the chance to open up and meet a lot of new people! It's an incredible program with great speakers and activities, and the bonds you make and lessons you learn teach you a lot about leadership and growing as a person as well. I am so thankful for this experience and hope many others receive the opportunity to experience the same! :)
