The YLI class of 2008-2009 began in August with an overnight retreat at Camp Hantesa. Students participated in leadership and team building activities. Throughout the year, the class will participate in class sessions designed to explore topics such as Community Engagement, Leadership Passions and Vision, Arts and Communication, Diversity, Government, Economic Impact, Education and Creative Problem Solving. For a complete listing of program dates, see the Program Information section of this website.

The YLI class of 2009 represents a cross-section of high school students throughout the Greater Des Moines area. A formal selection committee chose the class based on their leadership potential and interest in learning more about the community.
