On August 3, 2018, GLEAMNS YLP traveled to Columbia, SC to participate in the 11th Annual Youth Leadership Professional Development Conference. Hosted by the SCACAP, the event was held at Hilton Garden Inn Columbia/Northeast. The theme of the event was "Empowering Youth, Families, and Communities," and students took part in various workshops geared toward community awareness and professional development. Workshop topics included youth suicide prevention, gang awareness, financial empowerment, and bullying. GLEAMNS student India Rice served as one of the keynote speakers during the event's luncheon. Since she placed as 2nd runner up in the 2017 YLP Oratorical Forum, winners from the competition were asked to recite their speeches to conference attendees.

Twelve YLP students and four staff members were able to represent GLEAMNS for the event.
