Know Before You Apply: Your Video Interview
This video is your chance to introduce yourself, share your passion, and tell us why you’re excited about this opportunity. We’re not looking for high-end production—just an honest, thoughtful response from you!
Your task- Create a video that is two minutes or less and answer the following questions:
- Why do you want to attend the NY-KY Youth Leadership Program?
- What do you hope to gain from participating in the program?
Once your video is complete, upload it to YouTube (unlisted is fine!) and copy the link into the designated field in the application form.
