> Inclusive service learning and volunteer opportunities are valuable work-based learning experiences. These experiences can play a critical role in helping young people with disabilities transition to employment. Unfortunately, youth with disabilities may face challenges in accessing service-learning opportunities and moving on to full-time employment. For youth service professionals and other adults who work with youth with disabilities, this webinar will provide an overview of the benefits of volunteering, detail national service programs for youth with disabilities to choose from, and feature the experiences of a service alum with a disability.

> Nathan Cunningham of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy will discuss the benefits of volunteering and the steps youth service professionals can take to help young people with disabilities identify and secure volunteer opportunities (information reflected in the new guide Fostering Inclusive Volunteering and Service Learning <http://links.govdelivery.com/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTYwNTI2LjU5NTIwNTgxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE2MDUyNi41OTUyMDU4MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MDYxMDk0JmVtYWlsaWQ9cHJlc2lkZW50QG5mYmNvbW11bml0eXNlcnZpY2Uub3JnJnVzZXJpZD1wcmVzaWRlbnRAbmZiY29tbXVuaXR5c2VydmljZS5vcmcmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&102&&&http://www.ncwd-youth.info/fostering-inclusive-volunteering-and-service-learning>). Stephanie Enyart of the Corporation for National and Community Service will talk about how national service programs (like AmeriCorps) can be an excellent pathway for transitioning youth with disabilities to career success, and she will also share current research regarding alumni outcomes. An AmeriCorps alum with a disability will talk about how the AmeriCorps experience helped with transition to gainful employment.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
 “We need your service, right now, at this moment - our moment - in history. I'm not going to tell you what your role should be; that's for you to discover. But I am going to ask you to play your part; ask you to stand up; ask you to put your foot firmly into the current of history” — Barack Obama
