Exclusive MSL Opportunity: Youth Lead Now!

This spring, The Aspen Institute commenced a new program, Youth Lead Now!, to virtually connect experts with youth and their families.  These touchpoints encourage youth to remain engaged in their communities and inspire them to work for positive change.  Youth Lead Now! is available to a small selection of youth leadership programs, including recent and current MSL participating campuses. 

Last month, 27 individuals from 15 MSL campuses participated in the inaugural Youth Lead Now! event that featured Arne Duncan, former Secretary of Education and Aspen Institute Henry Crown Fellow.  Co-hosted by Jasmine Adams, an Aspen Young Leaders Fellow, and Kristi Dragon, CEO of the Pahara Institute, the conversation focused on hope, education, and progress in the midst of the current COVID-19 crisis.  The conversation explored why youth are essential for community-driven leadership and how they can play a pivotal role as leaders in these times.

If you need some inspiration, you can watch, share, and comment on the session recording here.

As new Youth Lead Now! opportunities become available, eligible recent and current MSL participating campuses will receive more information.  Keep an eye out for the next opportunity to participate and experience a refreshing sense of inspiration in these trying times!

If you are interested in getting access to these events and you are considering enrolling in the MSL2021, start that enrollment process now so that you can start to receive communications about them.
