The Governor's Council on Disability and the Missouri Planning Council for
Developmental Disabilities announce the 2007 Missouri Youth Leadership
Forum, which is open to high school juniors and seniors with disabilities
who possess leadership potential. There is no other opportunity like this in
Missouri for young men and women who experience disability.
The program focus is to promote students' leadership, citizenship, and
social skills development. Forum topics include leadership principles and
application, disabilities experience and resource sharing, assistive
technology, career goal development, independent living, and advocacy skill
building.
Through the application process, a diverse group of students are chosen as
delegates to represent their schools and communities from all areas of the
state. Student delegates participate free of charge in this unique career
leadership-training program at the University of
Missouri-Columbia on July 22-25, 2007.
Applications are now available on the website at
www.gcd.oa.mo.gov/2007ylf.shtml. The application deadline is April 15,
2007.
