Today our students investigated the the rich history of leadership in Washington, D.C. in a series of site explorations of some of the capital's most important historical sites. After a walking discovery of the seat of our country's legislative branch, Capitol Hill, the students explored the Korean War Veterans Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Lincoln Memorial and stopped for a photo opportunity at the White House. They also visited the National Portrait Gallery, which houses nearly 20,000 works of art featuring men and women who have made significant contributions to the history, development and culture of the United States.

At each of these sites, our students learned how leaders use their voices to take a stand and make a difference. In the evening, they worked with their LFG members to create a social organization to serve as their own "voice of change"
for a special topic that impacts local communities. This final project tasked the students with using their new leadership skills they have developed at JrNYLC this week.
