National Leadership Seminar and Developing Youth Leaders Conference

/ Inactive / By

Totanhan Nakaha Lodge is hosting NLS and DYLC here in the Twin Cities at Basecamp. This is a National Order of the Arrow Training available to every OA Member, and one many other OA Members travel across the country for. It is a training we highly encourage our OA Youth and Adults to attend. NLS is for both Youth and Adults. DYLC is for Adults.

This training is at Basecamp where all meals are provided and accommodation is in hotels close to Basecamp. There is transportation between the Hotels and Basecamp.

What is NLS/DYLC?

National Leadership Seminar (NLS) is a weekend training program focusing on leadership development. Run by the Region Chief and their Advisers, it provides an in-depth look at leadership skills and techniques. NLS discusses how these skills can be applied in your role in the OA and in other aspects of your life. The National Leadership Seminar is a weekend conference on the skills and attributes of leadership.

The Developing Youth Leadership Conference (DYLC) focuses on the tools every adult needs to mentor and develop our outstanding youth leaders. It is built on the concepts our members learn at the National Leadership Seminar, and it uses the NLS terminology as participants learn new tools and techniques of how to mentor and develop our outstanding youth leaders.
