In this conversation you can expect to hear: 

• the history of the Youth of the Year competition
• stories of how Youth of the Year has changed students' lives
• how much Youth of the Year costs (surprise - it's actually free for students!)
• when one contestant one and met the President of the United States
• why it's important for high school students to learn how to articulate their thought, especially in a digital world.
