PR/HYLI 2021-2022 Local Training Application!

/

The Hudson Valley Regional Bilingual Education Resource Network (HV RBERN) is excited to announce the start of the recruitment process for high school juniors and seniors who wish to participate in the Puerto Rican/Hispanic Youth Leadership Institute (PR/HYLI) 2021-2022 training sessions!

Training, Participation, and Commitment Details

Participation in PR/HYLI develops and leverages students’ leadership, advocacy, public speaking, and essay writing skills. The culmination of the training sessions is the PR/HYLI Weekend Institute, during which students from across New York state debate bills within the New York State Assembly Chambers while assuming the roles of New York State Legislators.

This year, due to the conditions created by the COVID pandemic, each of our local training sessions will be conducted virtually outside of school hours. This training model extends participation opportunities to students throughout the Hudson Valley region.

The local training sessions culminate in a PR/HYLI Statewide Weekend Institute. This year the weekend Institute is scheduled for March 12-14, 2022.

No final determination has been made as to whether the March weekend will take place in-person or virtually. However, participation in local training sessions is not a commitment to sending students to Albany for PR/HYLI weekend in March 2022, even if it were to take place in person.

Training sessions will begin on December 1. Please see the training schedule at this link (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cnItW74TKeaIiD8pvaIPdqLLuaRLLrgw/view?usp=sharing) for specific dates. All sessions are virtual.

Participating students will have the option to apply PR/HYLI training toward earning the NYS Seal of Biliteracy and the NYS Seal of Civic Engagement. PR/HYLI scholars who are seniors and meet certain criteria can submit their PR/HYLI essays for scholarships provided through SOMOS, Inc, a key sponsor of PR/HYLI.

Visit https://prhyli.org/ and https://www.hudsonvalleyrbern.org/prhyli for additional information about PR/HYLI.

We are asking that the person/people whom we will keep informed with PR/HYLI information, such as training dates, student applicants, and accepted students, complete a brief survey.

Please complete the survey if you would like to receive PR/HYLI information and/or please forward the survey link to the staff members that should be or may want to be included.
