This is a special invitation for California high school juniors and seniors who have disabilities to apply to come to Sacramento and attend the California Youth Leadership Forum July 26-30, 2009. Students will have the opportunity to live on a college campus and join more than 900 alumni from across the state that have been a part of this unique five-day program created specifically for young leaders with disabilities.

There is no cost to attend!

Students who attend YLF make new, life-long friendships and resource connections to help them reach their personal, academic, and career goals.

Alumni of the California Youth Leadership Forum for Students with Disabilities (YLF) say it has forever changed their lives for the better.
