A blog setup to talk about the launch of the Summer Youth Institute a summer program setup by the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation and the Medgar Evers Institute. The SYI hopes to provide an opportunity to train youth leaders to discuss engage and uniquely solve community issues.

SYI
The SYI has really helped me over these last nine days. I have learned so many things that I didn't know much about. Being with the SYI has taught me variety of ways to help better my community. I hope to take all this information and use it to the best of my ability. One of my fears was coming here and not learn anything, but I did the complete opposite. One of my hopes were to meet and befriend new people and I made friends with tons of people. I always learned a lot about the history of Mississippi that I probably would've known if I wasn't with SYI. I could go on and on about how much fun I have had, but it probably would take nine days. Overall, this has really been a great experience for me because it has helped me become more outspoken of my opinions. I truly want to thank SYI for eveything.
