SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – This summer, Lily Phillips from South Lake Tahoe will join outstanding high school students from across the nation to take part in a unique academic and career-oriented development experience, National Youth Leadership Forum: Medicine, UC Berkely.

Youth Leadership Forum: Medicine is one of the Envision by WorldStrides family of programs that enable students to explore their interests and experience learning beyond the classroom.

Lily was nominated to attend the forum by her Sports Medicine teacher at South Tahoe High School. In addition to participating in the Sports Medicine program, Lily is a member of the South Tahoe Swim Team. Lily is also

passionate about music and travel. Lily has dreams of becoming a seismologist or sports medicine doctor. Lily is looking forward to gaining the hands-on medical experience that the forum provides.

“As an alumna of Envision myself, I am excited for Lily to meet, work, and collaborate with other high-aspiring students from across the country and the globe,” said Amanda Freitag Thomas, SVP for Envision. “Hands down, my favorite part of attending an Envision program was being with motivated students in an environment designed to help us challenge our assumptions, meet new people, and grow. Creating that same learning environment is a central focus for all of our programs. At the National Youth Leadership Forum: Medicine, students build the confidence and skills needed to excel at college and in the workplace. They learn how to adapt to and communicate in new situations, to new challenges, and with new people, which, given how rapidly the world is changing due to technology and innovation, are essential skills for success.”
