Youth Leadership Academy (YLA) Counselor Application

Blue Ridge Leadership Institute (BRI) seeks energetic young leaders to serve as Senior Counselors (ages 17-18) and Junior Counselors (ages 15-16) for the upcoming YLA program from July 21 – 25, 2024, at Unicoi State Park in Helen, GA. We believe having previous experience as a YLA attendee enriches the YLA counselor's leadership ability. All counselors must participate in the virtual training sessions and attend every day of the conference. Limited positions are available. Small stipends will be given to counselors at the end of the conference.

Please submit the following application by April 30, 2024, to be considered for a counselor position. Feel free to contact Sean Bryant, YLA Chair, at 865-300-1584 if you have any questions.
