MYLE
Myle is an annual, student-organized leadership conference for eight graders
sponsored by OMNI Youth Services. Its purpose is to motivate middle schoolers
to go out and make a difference in their communities. Students learn about
community services and leading peers, skills which are useful in high school.
Opportunities are available for 8th graders to attend MYLE and for high school
students to be a part of the MYLE organizational team!
