Applications for the FBI National Academy Associates (FBINAA) Youth Leadership Program (YLP) are open now through February 2, 2026. The YLP provides high school students with an immersive 8-day advanced leadership training experience in Quantico, Virginia during the summer of 2026. The YLP is a competitive, no-cost program for high-achieving high school sophomores and juniors (ages 14-16 by program start date) who demonstrate strong academic performance, high level of fitness, and dedication to their community. Sixty-two students are selected annually from the U.S. and around the world to participate. Under the guidance of experienced law enforcement professionals, participants engage in intensive coursework and real-world exercises to develop their leadership capabilities.
We would love to continue our tradition of sending an exceptional youth candidate to represent our Nebraska Chapter! The 2026 YLP session will be held July 9-17, 2026. The YLP is open to all applicants, regardless of relationship to an active member of the FBINAA, who meet the following basic qualifications:
