Youth Leadership Forum (YLF): 2017 Youth Recommendation Form

You have been asked to provide a recommendation for a youth or young adult that is applying for the Massachusetts Youth Leadership Forum (YLF).

YLF is an overnight conference for youth and young adults with disabilities who have demonstrated leadership potential and concern for their communities. YLF participants stay in dorms at Bridgewater State University to experience life away from home in a college setting, and have the opportunity to build their leadership skills as they learn about self-advocacy, assistive technology, independent living, employment skills, career exploration, higher education, legislative advocacy, the Disability Rights Movement, and community participation. Partners for Youth with Disabilities (www.pyd.org) is proud to organize and host the 2017 Massachusetts YLF in partnership with the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission and numerous collaborators across the state.

Please answer the questions below and submit your reference by April 15th, 2017. If you have any questions, contact Susan Nicastro at: ylf@pyd.org or 617-556-4075 x13. You can also download and submit a print copy of the form at this link.
