Youth Leadership ForumWhat is the Youth Leadership Forum and why do we sponsor one? The purpose of the Youth Leadership Forum is to teach students of the skills needed to advocate for themselves today and into the future as adults. There are two distinct modules of the Forum. Our event begins in late 2006 with youth selected from our application process choosing six issues facing young adults today. Through educational exercises and guest speakers, the youth will learn of appropriate ways to become involved in the legislative process; how to become an advocate for issues he or she believes in; how the voter's registration process works; how becoming an informed voter can affect change. See the schedule below. The Youth Leadership Forum culminates with a rally at the state capital in early 2007. Youth meet with Legislators and Congressmen to express the areas of their concern and advocate for the positions they believe will be most beneficial to those affected. Apply by completing the application and returning it to our office before the deadline.
