About The Forum
The National Youth Leadership Forum on Collegiate Success (NYLF/CS) is a comprehensive three-day residential program designed to provide promising high school students with the skills they will need to effectively transition from high school to college.
The Forum begins with an important and valuable skills assessment exercise that scholars will utilize to discover their true strengths, passions, interests and beliefs. Students then focus on developing the natural talents that they already possess. Seminars focus on themes, such as self-identification, self-direction and motivation, which will help students make life-changing decisions.
Scholars also attend a series of workshops that are designed to help them achieve long and short term goals, enhance interpersonal and communications skills, acquire a sense of financial responsibility, make intentional decisions, form a network of supporters and master time management skills.
Forum on Collegiate Success scholars also focus on understanding contemporary leadership, achieving balance, cultivating study habits and managing stress. The Forum on Collegiate Success concludes with scholars designing a comprehensive academic, financial and career plan and timeline for their futures and defending their plans in thesis form to peers and faculty advisors.
