Are you a young person with a disability
living in South Carolina?
Do you want to spend the summer building your leadership and advocacy skills, meeting new people, and having lots of fun? If the answer is yes, then the South Carolina Youth Leadership Forum (YLF) is the perfect event for you!
The 2021 YLF event will take place online from July 25-30, 2021. Accepted delegates for the event will spend their time hearing from local and nationally recognized disability rights advocates, engage in fun, skill-building activities that focus on leadership, advocacy, and disability pride, and have opportunities to interact with and build friendships with young people from across the entire state.
Due to COVID-19, the 2021 YLF will be held fully online. If you have concerns about technology, YLF staff can provide support by giving you a technology tutorial or loaning equipment so you can participate in the event.
What are the requirements to attend YLF?
To attend the Youth Leadership Forum, applicants must:
- Have a disability
- Live in South Carolina
- Fall within the 15 to 23-year-old range. High school juniors, seniors, and recent high school graduates accepted.
- Show leadership potential at school or in the community
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and the application process will close on June 25. We encourage you to apply sooner rather than later to give staff time to process your application.
