Q: Who can go to the Multicultural Youth Leadership Event (MYLE)?
A: Any young people attending the Gathering who can come early to….

	Seek to live in, and live out, baptism’s gifts of right relationship with God and with people of all ethnic backgrounds.
	Dive into practices of discernment and witness -- seeing, understanding, naming and overcoming racism in the church and in the world, in fidelity to God’s new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).
	Engage in deep cross-cultural and multi-generational learning about all the various ways in which people identify themselves and how these identities affect how they live together as children of God.
	Respond to their call to lead their congregations back home into fuller inclusion in a beautifully diverse world.

Q: How much does it cost? And what financial assistance might be available?
A: Registration fee for MYLE is $125 per person. This covers housing, meals, and program.

For 2009, total financial assistance for the Gathering has been more than doubled, and can be accessed earlier in the registration process. The Gathering has committed half of all its financial assistance for young people of color who plan to attend both MYLE and the Gathering. This financial assistance covers 100% of the Gathering registration fee, which is $295. Applications for Gathering financial assistance were accepted up until July 31, 2008.

Q: How do I register?
A: Registration for MYLE and the Gathering is now closed. MYLE registration will be monitored for intentional diversity. People who register for this event will receive a confirmation after the Gathering registration closes.
