Congressional Youth Leadership Council

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Congressional Youth Leadership Council (CYLC) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, United States based organization that is also open to young people from other countries and has been in operation since 1986. It contracts Envision EMI, a for-profit organization, to manage its programs. Its stated goal is to "foster and inspire young people to achieve their full leadership potential."^{[citation needed]}

The scholars have to undergo nomination and selection process to be chosen for placement in the program. The program is designed to provide the scholars with a "distinguished academic environment" to enable them to improve their opportunities in becoming world leaders.

It is currently supported by members of the United States Congress and foreign embassies, although such endorsements are of questionable reliability.^[1]

The tuition cost to students participating in the programs is approximately $2290.
