The Martha’s Vineyard Youth Leadership Initiative began with the first Vineyard Youth Summit at the Menemsha Inn from June 26 – July 2. We held the first annual Walter Cronkite Awards Ceremony in July. MVYLI’s year-round program builds on the Youth Summit training Vineyard youth to become leaders. All are welcome.
