Northwest Youth Leadership Conference

The Northwest Youth Leadership Conference has a gratifying 15 year relationship with Pacific Lutheran University as our home base for teens seeking improved leadership skills and patriotic education. We chose PLU because of its accessible campus, excellent accommodations and superior service. Each summer, approximately 100 students and adults gather on the grounds of the University to study all aspects of leadership. Students enjoy experiencing dormitory life, first-rate food service and great meeting room facilities.

Students attending our opening and closing banquets in the Scandinavian Cultural Center relish the rich cultural surroundings, as well as the delicious catered dinners. The beautiful campus environment allows team building activities on the expansive green lawns that connect academic buildings. High school students praise the tremendous opportunity to experience college life for five days at a top rated university in the Northwest region of the United States.
