About Us

The Arizona Youth Leadership Conference (AZYLC), founded in 1991, aims to provide young men and women from high schools throughout the Southwest a chance to develop leadership through patriotic education.

AZYLC is one of 25 Youth Leadership Conferences conducted by the Military Order of the World Wars (MOWW). The MOWW is a National Patriotic Organization of American Military Officers and their Descendants, of all Uniformed Services, Active, Reserve Component, Retired, or Former Service Members

The Military Order is a patriotic nonpartisan organization, which holds that it is nobler to serve than to be served. The Order was established in 1919 to promote the welfare of our Nation. The Order provides an opportunity for Officers of all of the Uniformed Services to unite in a strong program to promote National Security, Patriotism, Good Citizenship and Service to Country. The Order is comprised of over 160 Chapters across the nation.

Potential Students
AZYLC participants are to-be junior and senior high school students nominated by local community and school leaders.  Participants are nominated because they demonstrate outstanding promise as young leaders.  If you are looking for a unique experience that will challenge the way that you think and help you to develop and shape your leadership skills then consider attending the Arizona Youth Leadership Conference.

Parents
The annual Arizona Youth Leadership Conference provides a transformational leadership experience.  Young adults from all regions of Arizona will gain a better understanding of free enterprise, the Constitution of the United States, develop new leadership skills and make new friends.  Participants stay on a college or university campus for the duration of the conference, providing them with a unique educational experience.  This conference challenges youth to become better citizens and provides them with the knowledge and encouragement to make a difference in their world.
