2010 Youth Leadership Summit Application

The Youth Leadership Summit is a week-long gathering of high school students from the Greater Milwaukee area with disabilities that is held in the summer.

Students learn about transition, self-advocacy and independent living.  Students experience a variety of interactive workshops with topics like:  conflict resolution, college & employment issues, money management, disability rights, healthy & safe relationships and more. Students also have the opportunity to meet, socialize, and network with other high school students.

The Youth Leadership Summit includes breakfast and lunch each day, travel reimbursement options and a stipend for participating in the entire program. The Youth Leadership Summit is a great way to meet others, learn about independent living and talk about issues affecting young persons with disabilities who are making the transition from high school to “the real world.”
