The Montana Youth Leadership Forum is a unique leadership training program for high school students with disabilities.  Each year the program begins with the Forum that takes place for a week in July where students are brought to the campus of Carroll College for training.  During the Forum students have the opportunity to learn about the history and culture of disability, self advocacy skills, and how the enhance their self esteem.

Upon completion of the Forum the alumni receive a year of follow along services.  During that year alumni are contacted on a regular basis to ensure that the skills that they learned during the Forum are being utilized.  Additionally alumni are provided the opportunity to participate in local, state and national opportunities should they choose.

The 2010 Montana Youth Leadership Forum will be held on July 13-16 on the campus of Carroll College.  Currently MYLF is recruiting delegates, staff, and presenters for the Forum this year.  Applications can be found on the web site at www.montanaylf.org
