SHYLI-Lanai's mission is to train young people to become leaders of a more sustainable island. The pilot program began in 2013 when three Lanai youth were nominated by LHES to serve as delegates to the Summit held with island youth on Martha's Vineyard. They became members of SHYLI's year-round fellowship program where they developed Sustainability-In-Action Projects with Lana'i organizations. They participated in Job Shadow Day with Pulama Lanai employees and Oahu organizations. They shared their vision for a sustainable Lanai at SHYLI's Youth & Community Forum on Oahu on April 4. SHYLI is a branch of the Stone Soup Leadership Institute, a non-profit organization founded on Martha's Vineyard in 1997. For more information: sustainhawaiiyouth@gmail.com
