More than 100 high school student leaders gathered for the annual Youth Ambassadors Leadership Conference held on Jan. 31 by the Naperville Park District. After the keynote address by Chicago ABC News reporter and anchor Robert Elgas, students met with others from different high schools to talk about their clubs and activities that they lead. They also had time to meet with other student leaders from their own high schools.

The Youth Ambassadors is a group of high school students who work with the Naperville Park District to plan community-wide special events for teens each year.
