Hello,

The California Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities is now
accepting applications from students to participate in the 2019 Youth
Leadership Forum for Students with Disabilities (YLF) and would appreciate
your assistance with outreach to students to apply.

The YLF event will be held on July 16- July 20, 2019, at California State
University, Sacramento.

The YLF is a five-day residential self-advocacy and leadership development
summer youth program held on a college campus. It is a great opportunity for
students who have been identified as potential leaders to participate in
this leadership development program. Please share this information with your
counselors, team managers and team members who directly communicate with
youth including at any schools and who provide DOR Student Services.

Students must complete an application, write an essay and provide letters of
recommendations. Students will also be interviewed by a team in their local
communities. This is a competitive process and not all students will be
selected. We are targeting students who are sophomores and juniors during
the 2018-19 school year. However, some seniors will be accepted as well. YLF
applications must be completed electronically and emailed to ylf at dor.ca.gov
<mailto:ylf at dor.ca.gov> . The deadline to apply has been extended to Sunday,
February 3, 2019.

The 2019 application and related documents, including an outreach flyer, can
be found www.dor.ca.gov/home/ylf <http://www.dor.ca.gov/home/ylf> .  All
information can be shared through your distribution channels. Please print
the flyer and post in your offices and share at local schools and other
offices.

Thank you for your continued support! 

If you have any questions, please contact me at (916) 445-9932, (855)
