We are building a network of disabled student groups at colleges and universities and we invite Minnesota colleges and universities to join our Higher Education Network.
Advantages:
- YLF programming offered to young adults in college: volunteer service facilitation, leadership activities, and mentoring and peer mentoring support
- Be a part of a growing national higher education network
- Enhanced capacity to serve youth with disabilities
- Act more collectively as a resource serving youth who are pursuing a post-secondary education
- A networking system is important to a grassroots community-based effort
- A means to share information, best practices, experiences, and resources
- Support the participation of fellow youth
- Expand the number of older youth leaders who can leverage their leadership for the benefit of younger youth
- Promotes collaboration across geographic region and type of disability, so it transcends population segments and fragmentation
that currently exists – so, greater community inclusion and more unity in the disability community - Enhances the voice of the youth and build a youth leadership base that is self-directed
- Provides a broad constituency base
- Youth leaders will be at the forefront of leadership efforts, guiding their direction and decision-making through their participation and input.
