ally split 50% male/female ratio, representing a diverse
student population. The Youth Leadership Program is of-
fered to the students at no charge.
This year’s YLP, led by
John Foster
(220th Session), and a team of six coun-
selors took place June 13-20, 2015. 59
students attended the 17th Session of
the Youth Leadership Program.
“The FBI National Academy Associates’
Youth Leadership Program
was more than
just a week-long experience, it was
life
changing
. The life skills that I was exposed
to while at the Youth Leadership Program
were extremely beneficial to my
future
success
. The
friendships
that we created
during the FBI Youth Leadership Program
will surely last a
lifetime
. I highly recom-
mend the FBINAA Youth Leadership
Program to any young person who wants to
participate in a unique and exceptional
experience
. I feel privileged and blessed
to have experienced this incredible
opportunity
.”
