It is the purpose of the Association of Youth Leadership Forums (AYLF) to improve employment and independent living outcomes of youth with disabilities transitioning from high school by promoting throughout the United States and its territories, the replication of the California Model: Youth Leadership Forum for Students with Disabilities (YLF).
To identify students with disabilities who have exhibited leadership skills and to equip them with the additional training so they may become leaders by example.
The AYLF would love to see a YLF chapter in every state. Read about the impact YLF can have on students with disabilities. If you’re interested in helping, see how you can get involved and start a YLF in your state.
