Kena Bryant to Take Part in Envision’s JUNIOR NATIONAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

– This summer, Kena Bryant from Hawley Texas will join outstanding students from across the nation to take part in a unique academic and career oriented development experience at the 2025 Junior National Youth Leadership Conference in Washington DC.

JNYLC is one of the Envision by WorldStrides family of programs (www.envisionexperience.com) that enable students to explore their interests and experience learning beyond the classroom.

Kena is a straight A student who spends her evenings as part of an MMA fight team and Kajukembo student. She has graduated from leadership training to help youth in the community also learn to love martial arts as much as she does. Kena enjoys supporting her team, teaching others and has ambitions to learn forensic accounting and business management. Her teachers have noticed her leadership qualities in the classroom and nominated her to attend this conference to help her in her academic and world leadership ambitions.

“I am excited for Kena to meet, work, and collaborate with fellow high-aspiring students from other cities and schools,” said Dr. Jan Sikorsky, Vice President, Education for Envision. “Junior National Youth Leadership Conference is a wonderful opportunity for ambitious young students to explore their interests outside the classroom and discover how to innovate and think creatively through hands-on immersive learning. Our students are challenged with real-world simulations and problems, working together to develop unique solutions and projects to bring life to their studies and career interests.”
