WHO WE ARE 

“We’re building the next generation of global leaders!”

In keeping with our organization’s mission, we believe that young people, like their adult counterparts, thrive when immersed in a variety of perspectives, experiences, and opportunities. And, in keeping with our organization’s values, we also believe that all youth, regardless of their economic circumstances and other historical barriers, should have access to high quality local and global enrichment activities. As such, Aurora Sister Cities International offers a number of globally focused, inclusive and engaging youth development programs that are free of charge, or which alternatively offer scholarships to students with demonstrated need.

Our youth programs focus on Social Emotional Learning, Civic Engagement, Advocacy, Career Exploration and Learning Exchange. Our Global Youth Leaders umbrella comprises the following
programs:

1. GYL Pipeline Program
2. Asia Pacific Youth Leadership Conference
3. Youth Expedition to Costa Rica
4. Virtual high school exchange program in partnership with our
sister city in Seongnam City, South Korea ( Soon )
5. Sister Cities International Youth Leadership Summit
6. Young Artists and Authors Showcase
7. Youth Exchange Scholarship Program
8.Next Volunteer Opportunity GYL 2024
