NYLF: Medicine Review for future parents

My teenager attended the Youth Leadership Forum: Medicine program. He was honored to be selected for this prestigious experience. The program advisors were informative, pleasant and catered to my son's interests. The event was 10 days. He traveled independently to Washington DC where he was greeted by the Envisions staff and safely transported to the Maryland campus. The program curriculum was fully loaded with lectures, medical experiences, mentors who advised them and took them on a tour of the city. Each day I was informed of his agenda by email and text. My son was roomed with another student who supported him and they enjoyed the day's activities with many other students. When I spoke with my son after each evening, he responded with excitement, new experiences and friendships. As a parent, I would highly recommend this program to anyone's high schooler who is looking to enrich their learning and future leadership. Kudos to the who Envision team!

Great experience!

My daughter, who is shy, wanted to participate. She had a great time, she was busy every day and to me that's important! Thank you for a wonderful program and the opportunity for my daughter to have this experience!

Great experience!

From registration to pick up everything went very smoothly. My child had a great time and made many good friends. There were many adult counsellors who made the experience safe and engaging! An excellent program!

Highly recommended, as son had an amazingly inspiring experience.

Hands down this experience made a positive outlook for career and college direction for my son. It strengthened his leadership skills, creativity, and independence. My son spoke highly of Olin College. He talked about how much fun he had with the staff as well as a new network of friends nationally and internationally. He was smiling from ear to ear telling us about his positive experience. He enjoyed listening to the guest speakers, touring colleges in Boston, building his knowledge about his career of interest, college dorm life experience, traveling out of state, and touring a new city. It was all very motivating. As a parent, it was a learning experience for me as well. It was a very positive experience. I am so grateful the staff took very good care of my son.

The best part of my summer

I would definitely suggest that anyone that can go on an Envision experience should do it! It was well organized, fun, educational, and they somehow fit it all in one short week. During the experience you get to do things that no other organization gets to do! Also the connections I have made from this experience are still going strong as I still talk to more than 5 of the friends I made while at Envision. This experience was life changing and made the summer before my senior year one of the best of my life. I would say the only downside is that because of my age I can't do anymore!!
