American Youth Leadership Institute

Hundreds of Utah families are discovering the excitement and inspiration of membership in an American Youth Leadership Institute chapter. We believe that when children and youth are inspired by great advisors, surrounded by a supportive peer group and introduced to a host of meaningful readings and colloquia, quality activities, challenging simulations, public speaking experiences and service opportunities, they will be inspired to further engage in their own education and feel a powerful connection to their community and nation. AYLI is a Utah-based, non-profit organization, designed to support the Thomas Jefferson Education model, as described in A Thomas Jefferson Education, Teaching a Generation of Leaders for the Twenty-First Century by Oliver DeMille. AYLI clubs are working hand-in-hand with families to prepare the next generation of leaders and statesmen.
