Youth LEAD's Urban
Leadership Academy is a leadership opportunity for KC teens and young
adults with developmental disabilities. The Urban LEADership Academy is about leadership and empowerment to achieve dreams.
Each
Academy has three primary components: leadership and self-advocacy
training, person-centered planning, and mentoring. Participants learn
about career pathways; access to continuing education; problem-solving
techniques; opportunities for inclusive recreation; how to seek out
community resources, and disability laws, culture and practices. The
Academies will offer experiential, hands-on learning where the
participants work together on projects and create their own resource
maps and career and personal development plans. Interested in applying for next year? Applications for teens and mentors are below. |
