Now in its 6th year, the goal of the Youth Leadership Conference (YLC) is to motivate and inspire high school students from around the county – the same students who will become the national and global leaders of tomorrow. High school students from across the nation spend an intense, exciting four days at Stanford during the summer learning about the fight against HBV, from the scientific and epidemic aspects of the disease to strategies of outreach. Event planning basics, the architecture of an outreach event, and culturally sensitive marketing and advertising were just a few of the topics discussed at the 2007 conference. Attendees work together and apply their knowledge by designing their own outreach event from scratch and presenting it in front of a panel of judges. Many YLC participants become members of the Jade Ribbon Youth Council, summer interns at the ALC, or founders of Team HBV chapters at their high schools and universities.
