Dear McKay Scholarship Schools,
The Able Trust sponsors the Youth Leadership Forum for High School students with disabilities (15 years old - 18 years old). This is an ALL EXPENSE PAID weekend in July to Tallahassee for students to develop leadership and self-advocacy skills. I have been involved with it since the beginning and can tell you it is a life changing weekend for students. THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO MARCH 1ST.
They have created a great slideshow of the program from last year. Spend a minute watching and seeing how kids with all disabilities work together to become tomorrow's leaders. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCRea2PgQ3Q
If you have high school students, please read the information below and go to http://www.abletrust.org/ylf to find out more about the Youth Leadership Forum.
