The Youth Leadership Institute is a seven-day cultural immersion program located in Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico. A sense of community is created as people from different places meet each other and share in developing camp rules, organizing into work crews and setting up their tents and recreational activities. The relationship between students and teachers, as well as men and women is transformed through equal participation in activities, fostering a mutual relationship between all individuals. Youth will gain leadership skills and the self-determination to challenge the social injustices prevalent in their communities. It is the organization’s belief that youth must first learn to love and respect themselves, before they are able to love and respect anyone else.
