Hi, this is my first post here. My 11yo dd was invited to attend the Young Leaders Conference this summer in Washington, D.C.. Has anyone here sent their child to this or something similar. It sounds like a great experience, I'm just not sure about sending her off by herself for 6 days.

My oldest daughter went to a Lead America conference last Summer. She went to Boston, but they have them all over the US and in other countries. She was going to go to Russia, but she didn't raise enough money in time. I think these experiences are very good for them. If you think she can handle it she will learn much more than leadership from the experience. I would allow my 11 year old to go if she wanted to do it.

Wow! Sounds exciting. I'm sure they will be chaperoned. Does she know anyone going?

She knows of a couple of other students that were nominated, but she doesn't know if they are going or not. It sounds like there will be plenty of supervision and the kids will be safe. We are going to discuss it some more tonight. Thanks for the replies.
