Hi all,

I wanted to let everyone know about an upcoming event this summer for
youth with disabilities. It will be an intensive 3 day leadership
development forum for youth ages 16-28. The forum will be held July
12th-15th at UNC-Pembroke. Lodging, food, and accomodations are free
for delegates selected. Participants will stay in accesible dorms on
campus. Anyone who lives in NC, has a disability and is 16-28 is
eligible to attend. The forum will focusing on different forms of
leadership development within disability advocacy and activism both on
the local and national level. We will be selecting 40 delegates from
all across NC to attend. We are specifically looking for youth with
disabilities who have some leadership experience or who show
leadership potential. Please spread the word to youth who may be
interested. Email me at either rypinion@... or
ncyouthforum@... if you would like an application. You can also
email me or post back if you have any questions concerning the event
or application process We really want to make the participation
diverse as far as the disabilities and the regions across the state
represented. Please disperse this announcement far and wide.

Thanks,
The NC Youth Leadership Forum Committee
