NYMLK created the
Ella Baker/Cleveland Robinson Youth Leadership and Nonviolence
Academy as a rigorous two week period of training in which students
are exposed to in-depth analysis of the Kingian Principles and
Steps of Nonviolence and Youth Leadership applications.
Graduates develop programs
and activities for positive social change and for ten months employ
these activities in their communities. They have participated
as youth leaders in forums, workshops, seminars, the New York
State Governor's Conference on School Violence Prevention and
the New York State Black and Puerto Rican Legislative Caucus Weekend.
The alumni have become law school graduates, pre-med students,
engineers, teachers, computer specialists and one is an NYU program
developer. They have mentored students in need of assistance and
have become positive role models.
