WEB TRAINING ON INVOLVING YOUTH IN ADVOCACY
Youth & Self-Advocacy
Tuesday, September 17 from 4:00-5:00pm EDT (FREE!!!)

In 2011 and 2012, self-advocacy summits were held all over the US. These summits gave state teams the chance to set statewide goals on self-advocacy. Many state teams created goals that talked about getting young people with disabilities involved in self-advocacy activities.  This webinar will assist statewide teams, organizations and individuals in empowering young people with disabilities to become self-advocates.  It may seem hard to get young people involved in self-advocacy, but it's not impossible!

There will be 3 parts to this webinar:

1)    A group of young people with disabilities from the National Youth Leadership Network (NYLN) will share some tips and tricks on how to get young people with disabilities involved in statewide self-advocacy activities

2)    Some of the states that included youth self-advocacy as a goal from the Summits will share their progress

3)    All participants on the call will discuss best practices of including young people with disabilities in statewide self-advocacy activities.
