Hi everyone,

My name is Silas, and I’ve been invited to attend the Junior National Young Leaders Conference (JrNYLC) in Washington, D.C.! This is an amazing opportunity for students who show leadership potential to learn from inspiring speakers, work on team projects, and visit some of the most historic places in our nation’s capital.

I’m so honored to have been selected, but unfortunately, the cost of attending is more than my family can afford right now. The total program fee (including tuition, travel, and housing) is around $5000, and I’m hoping to raise this much to help make this dream possible.

I’ve worked hard in school and in my community to earn this opportunity, and I truly believe this experience will help me grow as a student and a leader. I’m excited to meet other young leaders from across the country and bring back what I learn to make a positive difference in my school and community.

If you’re able to donate, any amount helps — even just sharing this page means a lot! Thank you so much for believing in me and helping me take this next step toward my future.

With gratitude,

Silas Arellano
