Five J-D students selected to join PRHYLI Delegation

We’re excited to share that five Jamesville-DeWitt High School students were selected to join the 2024-25 Puerto Rican-Hispanic Youth Leadership Institute (PRHYLI) Syracuse Delegation. 

Congratulations to Gabriela Garcia Thomas, Stefanie Cervantes, Rebeca Mendez Siquier, Sara Skewes, and Stephanie Alfonso on this achievement! The institute says being selected speaks to the leadership potential these students possess.

The overall purpose of the PRHYLI is student empowerment and leadership development. Student delegates also take part in educational trips, including one to the Assembly Floor of the New York State Capitol Building where they get to deliver arguments in favor or against current bills in the legislative process. Delegates can also earn scholarships.

The first training session for the Syracuse Delegation is scheduled for early Dec.
