ADL Grosfeld Family National Youth Leadership mission to
Washington, D.C.
November 13th-16th, 2016
This innovative
program brings a diverse group of Chicagoland high school juniors and student
delegates from over 10 ADL regions to our nation’s capital to learn about the
Holocaust and ways to fight prejudice in schools and communities.
The centerpiece of the
Mission is a visit to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum where participants
will be reminded that they each possess the power – through their actions and
behavior – to make a difference in the lives of others. Additionally,
delegates will hear from liberators, survivors and scholars, and take part in
ADL’s A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE® Institute anti-bias programming where they will
have the opportunity to share their personal experiences with bullying, hatred
and discrimination, and discuss how the lessons of the Holocaust can be applied
today.
In order to be
considered, applicants MUST fill out this application - http://chicago.adl.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-NYLM-Application.pdf -
