Summer 2009
CFJ’s Summer Youth Leadership Academy (SYLA) is graduating over 45 student leaders across the state. These core leaders will be the foundation for local school clubs and chapters during the upcoming school year, where they will be focused on both regional and statewide campaigns to improve their communities and the California public school system.
To apply their summer lessons and newly acquired organizing skills, SYLA students are hosting community events in their respective regions. Please join us.
