The primary mission of the National Council on Youth Leadership is to assist communities in applauding, encouraging and providing opportunities for the leadership development of their local youth. Since its inception in 1976, NCYL has been driven to improve the world of tomorrow by developing its youth leaders today.

The Lincoln Trail Youth Salute, under the direction of the Lincoln Trail Youth Leadership Council, is the local manifestation of the NCYL mission and its objectives.

We firmly believe that by working with youth leaders to improve and enhance their leadership skills, we can help them make an even greater impact on their peers within the schools and communities in which they live.
