Meet New People and Make New Friends!
The SC Youth Leadership Forum is a great place to meet other youth with disabilities and network with change-makers from across the state! Did you know you're part of a larger community? Many young adults leave the YLF feeling more connected to their peers making overcoming challenges easier. Our 2019 keynote speakers include lawmakers, disability rights advocates, and previous YLF attendees!
At the End of the Day, It's Still Summer Break!
While you're at YLF you'll learn a lot about leadership, advocacy, and empowering others, but when the sessions end there's still LOTS of fun! Some of our favorite memories are the conga line of 2016, the ice cream social that was a little too much fun, and the 2018 dance competition!
Build on Your Professional Development and Independent Living Skills!
The Youth Leadership Forum is a professional leadership training; add your experience as a delegate to college applications and job resumes! You may not realize how many independent living skills you already have until you're given the chance to use them. YLF delegates get the full college experience by staying in the dorms, eating in the cafeteria, and having sessions in actual college classrooms. The YLF pro-staff and peer staff are here to support delegates every step of the way. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
