Frankfort, IL. – This summer, Bryson Das from Frankfort will join outstanding Middle School students from across the nation to take part in a unique academic and career-oriented development experience Junior National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, DC

Bryson was nominated to attend the conference to represent Hickory Creek Middle School in Frankfort. In addition to participating in Mathletes, National Jr Honors Society, Scholastic Bowl and Geography Bee, Bryson is also passionate about sports. He plays baseball for Hickory Creek Middle School and the Rawlings Tigers. With dreams of working in Finance, Bryson is looking forward to gaining the hands-on experience that the conference provides.

“As an alumna of Envision myself, I am excited for Bryson to meet, work, and collaborate with other high-aspiring students from across the country,” 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 JrNYLC, students build the confidence and skills needed to excel in
high school, college, and 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.”
