Directors
Ian McNally & Taylor Jeffers
Ian and Taylor took over as Co-Directors of YLDC in 2020 after a long and successful run from Ron Kulas. Ron was YLDC’s director from 1989-2019 and Ian and Taylor could not have had a better mentor to prepare them for this role. Since joining staff in 2009 (Ian) and 2010 (Taylor) Ian and Taylor have dedicated themselves to the program and the mission of creating a safe, inclusive environment that prepares and empowers young leaders to be catalysts for change in their community and their world.
“Unlike other leadership programs that tell young people what leaders are and how they operate, YLDC believes that every delegate that comes to us is a leader with great potential. Our staff has designed sessions that teach new skills, sharpen existing skills, and promote self-confidence. Some sessions motivate delegates to actively make a positive difference in their school, their community, or the world, where others are designed to allow the delegates to self-reflect on who they are, their acceptance of others, and set direction for the rest of their lives. YLDC is an incredibly unique experience, and we would love the chance to share it with you.”
