Michigan Youth Leadership Forum

The Michigan Youth Leadership Forum (MYLF) for students with disabilities is a unique career leadership training program for high school juniors and seniors with disabilities. By serving as delegates from their communities at a five-day event in the state capital, young people with disabilities cultivate leadership, citizenship and social skills.

MYLF is an educational and motivational forum. Guest speakers address such topics as disability rights laws, innovations in technology and resources at all levels. At the State Capitol, students have the opportunity to debate a pre‑selected bill with several members of the state legislature. By providing a framework of disability history and an atmosphere of encouragement, MYLF offers peers with common challenges and experiences the opportunity to learn from one another.
