Youth Leadership Training Opportunity!!!

Creating the Incredible

Pennsylvania’s Department of Health, Pennsylvania Association of Pediatrics, and the PEAL Center are creating a new program for youth with disabilities to become empowered to be able to make changes in the state.

We are looking for youth leaders with disability from Pennsylvania, ages 14-28, to participate in a leadership development Institute and to bring their experiences to the group. We have exciting activities planned where youth will meet other young leaders who are making a difference in their communities. Please encourage youth leaders with disabilities from central Pennsylvania to apply for the LDI on June 26th and 27th at the Penn Stater in State College Pennsylvania.

The meeting will be Saturday evening from 5p.m. – 8 p.m. and Sunday, 9 a.m.- 4 p.m. Youth under 18 years of age will be required to bring a parent of adult chaperone. The hotel room, food, and travel will be paid by the PEAL Center. YOUTH MUST APPLY TO ATTEND THIS EVENT!

Space is limited and youth applicants will be selected by their interest and experience in working with groups and activities that demonstrate their desire to assume leadership roles, through their application. Youth will be notified of their selection by June 11th.

All applications are due by June 10.
