What families say

“NYLT changed the way I approach any public speaking! I left feeling so much more confident and had so much fun on the way! You can ask any of my friends and they’ll tell you that I can’t stop bringing up NYLT and everything I’ve gotten out of this amazing program!” — Rachel B. NYLT participant and 3 year staff member

“NYLT is a once in a lifetime experience. Not only will you become a better leader, but you will also grow to be a better person. If you’re looking for a place to learn new skills, make new friends, and have a whole lot of fun, NYLT is the place for you!!!” — Ansel C. 2023 NYLT participant and 2 year staff member
