On Sunday, February 2 students will check out and will have the opportunity to participate in an optional campus tour. Room, board, and meals are included in the cost of attendance. We could not be more excited to host these amazing future leaders for another amazing conference. See you all soon!

FOR YLC 2025

Due to the high interest for the Young Leaders Conference, we will be continuing with an application process similar to last year. Applicants will submit a few short answer questions to help the selection committee learn more about them. Additional registration information will be sent to accepted applicants. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, starting in early October.

The deadline to apply for the Young Leaders Conference is November 15 at 11:59pm.

After acceptance, applicants will receive information to officially register for the conference, including instructions to submit the registration fee of $350.
