TESTIMONIAL
I discovered that it’s okay to talk to people and come out of my shell a little bit. Being uncomfortable is actually okay sometimes. Life is full of amazing people just waiting for someone to put forth the effort of meeting them.
TESTIMONIAL
Coming here meant a great deal to me and helped me have a different view of the world. Seeing this many people unite as a family really moved me, and helped me become a better version of myself. I will now treat everybody with so much more care, respect, empathy, and positivity. I will never forget all the amazing people I met. They are truly stars, and deserve the best!
TESTIMONIAL
I know that I will be more outgoing and be sure to give off a positive, infectious energy. I think I will remember the first moment of realizing how loud and crazy this group is. I’ve learned that their loudness was their way of spreading energy and love.

Why should I accept the nomination and attend MYLead?
By accepting this nomination, you have the opportunity to learn things about yourself you never thought possible. Plus, you get to add this leadership conference to your resume, meet motivated leaders from hundreds of high schools throughout Michigan, form life-long friendships, and be part of a team that will champion you for years to come!
What sets MYLead apart from other leadership conferences?
The passion, excitement, and drive that come from this group of people is unbelievable! Our organization was founded by stupendous leaders in 2002 and has impacted the lives of thousands of young leaders ever since. This organization is led 100% by volunteers who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of people like you! We love to invest in current and future leaders.
Do I really have to register now? It seems early…
Yes! Space is LIMITED at each event. We are expecting more than 350 students to register for MYLead this year. If you want to lock in your reservation for a specific date, you must register now.
Once specific dates are full, folks will be put on a waiting list.
If your plans change later in the year, you can always email recruitment@mylead.org to switch to a different date, space permitting.
What should I take into consideration when selecting which event to attend?
Programming will be similar for all of the events. The conference will be high energy and very engaging.
One of the reasons MYLead offers multiple weekends is so that students can select the weekend that works best for their schedule after taking into consideration college prep tests, sports schedules, graduation, end of year performances, etc.
What if transportation to or from MSU for the conference is an issue?
We can help! Please indicate you need help arranging travel on your registration form. Students will be attending from all over the state, so we are often able to help you identify a convenient carpool option.
Once I register, what can I expect?
Leading up to the events, you can expect a series of emails from the recruitment directors. If you have questions, or if your parent/guardian would like to talk with a member of our staff before you attend, you are welcome to reply to any of those emails or give us a call at 888-269-4075. We very much look forward to meeting you!
What if I am unable to attend any of the dates available?
If circumstances arise that prevent you from attending, we would like to give another student the opportunity to attend. Please contact us at recruitment@mylead.org or let the person know that nominated you from your school.
