Fayette student explores roles in national securityFayette County High School student Jacob Lewin has been selected to participate in the National Youth Leadership Forum on Defense, Intelligence and Diplomacy (NYLF/DID) Feb. 4-9 in Washington, D.C. Having demonstrated academic achievement and an interest in a career related to national security, Lewin will join approximately 400 outstanding high school juniors and seniors from across America at the forum. "By participating in the National Youth Leadership Forum on Defense, Intelligence and Diplomacy, students like Jacob will develop a keenly educated perspective on the United States' role in global conflict resolution," said Donna Snyder, executive director of NYLF. "We introduce these young leaders to the masterminds behind our country's international relations communities. Students also take part in a series of simulations. The combination of interacting with professionals and other students, in addition to our superior curriculum, is equipping our country with a very bright future." The NYLF/DID curriculum is based on actual world events, which allows its participants to learn from the examples set by previous generations of leaders while encouraging them to develop a perspective and tenacity unique to upcoming generations of leaders. Throughout the forum, students will examine how the U.S. plans for peace and prepares for crisis. Students will meet with leaders from key agencies and institutions. NYLF is a nonpartisan, nonprofit educational organization that sponsors highly specialized career-oriented programs for outstanding high school students who demonstrate leadership potential.
