Invitation to Apply to Serve as On-site Volunteer Staff for YLF 2012 March 15th, 2012

The 21st annual California Youth Leadership Forum for Students with Disabilities (YLF) will be held this summer. As you may know, the success of this nationally acclaimed program is dependent on the committed volunteers who understand the importance of youth leadership and development.

The application form includes a list of volunteer staff positions, the YLF Ground Rules and Guidelines and the Definition of Confidentiality for the 2012's California YLF. The forum will be held July 22-27, 2012, at California State University, Sacramento for staff. If you are interested in serving as an on-site volunteer, please complete the enclosed application and return it with one letter of recommendation and the signature page in the application by April 2, 2012, by close of business. The return address is on the application form.

We are pleased to inform you that in 2012, more than twenty other states will be conducting a YLF based on our California Model. There are now thousands of YLF national alumni and we are especially proud of our California YLF alumni who continue to serve our state as YLF volunteers/paid.

If you are offered a position, we will need a firm commitment that you can participate in the seven-day event. All selected staff will receive specific information regarding their position and information on making travel arrangements. As noted in the enclosed "YLF Ground Rules and Guidelines," all staff must participate in a mandatory staff orientation and are required to stay at the forum site at California State University, Sacramento, for the entire duration of the YLF program. Additionally, because the YLF program involves minors, all staff applicants will be subject to self-disclosure statements and/or background checks, and a confidentially agreement statement.

Because there is so much interest from individuals who want to serve as YLF volunteer staff, we regret that not all applicants may be selected to serve for 2012 even though you may have served as YLF Volunteer Staff in the past years.
If you have any questions about the YLF Volunteer Staff application and/or the application process, please call Trina Dangberg King at EDD at (916) 653-0882 (voice) (916) 654-9820 (tty)

We sincerely appreciate your interest in YLF and look forward to hearing from you.
