The Northwest Youth Leadership Conference is an annual conference held at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington. It is currently in its 18th year in operation and usually occurs within the month of June after local schools have let out for summer vacation. It is sponsored by the Military Order of the World Wars and the surrounding chapters in the area.
