The Michigan Youth Leadership Forum, is a unique leadership training program for high school juniors and seniors with disabilities. Young people with disabilities cultivate leadership, citizenship, and social skills.
Students with leadership potential are selected through a competitive application process and attend at no cost to them or their families.
Why have this Forum?
Young people with disabilities have more opportunities and more challenges than any other time in our nation's history. However, many need encouragement and information about resources to develop as leaders in their communities. This forum enables them to learn from each other and from successful adults with disabilities who are recognized leaders and role models.
