The Vieques Youth Leadership Initiative (VYLI) mission is to train young and emerging leaders to build a new Vieques. In 2007, VYLI has focused on its essential mission of preparing VYLI alumni to serve as future leaders of Vieques. This summer VYLI’s college youth embarked on the ambitious project of creating VYLI’s 2020 Report on their vision for Vieques. Since they will be the leaders in the year 2020, they want to help plan for their island’s future. This summer they interviewed community leaders, surfed the Internet for innovative solutions, prepared power point presentations and presented them at VYLI’s Youth Summit in July.
On July 31, they made their first presentation to government officials in San Juan. On October 6 they will make their U.S. premiere at a fundraising event in New York City. On October 9, they will present it to U.S. Congress in Washington D.C. and host a press conference as part of National Hispanic Heritage Month. They hope this report will inform, inspire and engage people to join with them in building a new Vieques.
We are pleased the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Chicago has chosen VYLI’s 2020 Report as a Case Study.
