This workshop will give you some amazing tips and tricks to improve your public speaking abilities. You will walk out of this workshop ready to give a speech in front of 1,000 people!
Keeping a strong, connected, and in sync school chapter can be extremely difficult. This workshop will teach you ways that you can do all of that effectively!
Getting to attend all of the school year YLA programs is an amazing experience! However it’s a pretty penny so this workshop will go over how much and ways to be able to make it easier and possible to attend all of our programs.
YG is an amazing experience. This workshop will give you an overview of what this program is and what would best suit you!
Model United Nations is one of our best school year programs! In this workshop you will get to learn more about this program and see what best suits you to do within this program.
YLA PIZZA BLOCK PARTY
Is there anything better than the melted cheese goodness of a hot pizza with your friends? For just $14.00 the YLA team will deliver a single large, 1-topping pizza to you and your delegation! Pizzas will be delivered at 9pm on Saturday evening. Please fill out the Pizza Order Form and return it with money no later than dinner on Friday to any YLA staff member.
ESCAPE ROOM
The Escape Room will test the limits of your imagination as you must work with your friends to come together as a team and solve a series of puzzles before the time runs out! Signups will be available starting on Friday evening during check-in.
KARAOKE NIGHT
Sure, we may not all make it big in Nashville as a singer-songwriter, but who doesn’t like to get up on stage with our friends and sing our hearts (and ears) out! Join us on Saturday evening at the main stage to bring the sweet sounds of homegrown musical talent to Fall Conference!
AWARDS BANQUET
Saturday evening, we ask that you and your delegation dress in your professional attire. Following a formal dinner, we will begin the award ceremonies to recognize those of you going above and beyond in your YLA chapters and your communities.
