From the NCLD-Youth Website:
National Consortium on Leadership and Disability for Youth(NCLD-Youth) is a youth-led resource, information, and training center for youth and emerging leaders with developmental disabilities, housed at the Institute for Educational Leadership and funded by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities. NCLD-Youth is taking a positive development approach to working with the next generation of disability community leaders, and developing materials to better prepare them for the transition to adulthood, and leadership, rather than focus on the negative statistics one hears so often about youth with disabilities. We have decided to use the five areas of youth development and leadership, learning, connecting, thriving, working, and leading to guide our work.
The NCLD – Youth website has information for both youth, and adults who want to support youth with disabilities to become leaders. It is organized as follows:
- Youth development materials
- An overview of disability history
- An overview of the disability movement
- Resources available from NCLD-Youth
- News and event announcements from around the United States of interest to youth leaders who have disabilities
-Taken from the "Welcome to NCLD-Youth Information Brief" viewed in PDF format on the NCLD-Youth website on 1/7/119
