Maryland Youth Leadership Forum 2023 Media Toolkit
Independence Now is now accepting applications for the 2023 Maryland Youth Leadership Forum (MDYLF).
MDYLF is an immersive, three-day long event for Maryland Youth with Disabilities to participate in activities with the goal of building leadership skills and preparing for future employment, higher education, and independent living.
The Youth Leadership Forum (YLF) was initiated in 1992 by the California Governor’s Committee on the Employment of Disabled Persons. This popular program spread across the country and is now conducted annually in more than 33 states. Maryland held its first Youth Leadership Forum in August 2000.
This year’s Maryland Youth Leadership Forum will take place from Monday, June 26 to Wednesday, June 28, 2023, at Towson University.
Maryland residents with ANY type of disability in their last two years of high school or graduating in the spring of 2023 are eligible to apply.
For questions about the Maryland Youth Leadership Forum, contact Danielle Bustos, YLF Coordinator, at dbustos@innow.org or 240-898-2189.
