     the experience

Closing ceremony was not the end of your leadership experience...it was only the beginning! The National Student Leadership Conference encourages you to continue learning and growing long after the program ends. On these pages, you will find resources for bringing the simulations and activities you experienced at the NSLC back to your schools and communities. Remember, these programs are only a starting point. There are countless opportunities for leadership. We encourage you to think creatively and use the network of NSLC alumni you met while at the program to share ideas and resources.

The Young Forensic Scientists Forum (YFSF) is a group within the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) that is dedicated to the education, enrichment and development of emerging forensic scientists and future leaders of the field. The participants of the YFSF are drawn from all sections and membership levels of the AAFS. The YFSF provides an avenue for new forensic scientists to interact with and become part of the established forensic science community. This is accomplished through meetings and educational sessions at the annual AAFS conference, a semi-annual newsletter, a mentorship program, informational databases and this website.
