Town Meeting on Tomorrow (TMOT)
Coordinator: Trent Moeller, VP Programs
For the past 36 years, youth leaders with diverse backgrounds from across the nation have gathered in St. Louis at Washington University for a Town Meeting on Tomorrow. Throughout history, leaders have gathered to discuss problems and potential solutions. They have found that these meetings yielded better results than if they worked on problems alone. TMOT was designed to bring youth leaders together in a similar fashion with the hope of inspiring youth to service, excellence and outstanding performance by reinforcing active leadership as the key to meeting tomorrow's needs. While we are planning for an in-person TMOT for 2023, we will have a virtual Leadership Experience once again for 2022. Our virtual NCYL Leadership Experience will be held October 20, 2022 and will run from 10:00 AM CDT to 2:00 PM CDT.

Two former TMOT participants reflect on their experience with the program.
"Even after almost two years, and an enormous amount of life changes, my experience attending the Town Meeting on Tomorrow is still one of the greatest of my life. I met life-long friends and was able to witness and contribute to the display of power excerpted from the young people that collaborated from all over our nation for those four magnificent days in the fall. I learned attitudes and ideas, shared beliefs and laughter, envisioned dreams and goals, and grew as a leader and a person during my experience. I still draw upon what I learned and remember the people I met on a frequent basis in my life now, as a college student. What Town Meeting on Tomorrow meant to me cannot be justified with words because words cannot always explain the person I have become because of experiences such as the Town Meeting on Tomorrow."
"Now it is time for me to give back. I have made service to others a large part of my life over the past few years. The idea of contributing back to programs, people, and organizations that have shaped me into the person I am today is appealing and natural in my mind. I would love to be a part of providing the nations most powerful young leaders with the same experience I encountered. As the years pass, I am no longer considered a "young person," but a "young adult." This label has assisted me in focusing on the authenticity of the idea that our nations greatest resource is, our young people."
