We're excited to announce Athene as the new Presenting Sponsor of Lead DSM's Youth Leadership Initiative (YLI)!

This three-year partnership reflects a shared belief that investing in young people is one of the most powerful ways to strengthen our community. Together, we'll continue providing a tuition-free leadership experience that helps high school students build the confidence and skills to lead in their schools and communities.

We're incredibly grateful to Athene for their investment in young leaders and their belief in Lead DSM's mission. Partnerships like this make our programs possible.
