Start Planning for the 2024 Youth Leadership Forum

 

Together with local Centers for Independent Living across Ohio, OOD partners with the Ohio Statewide Independent Living Council to host summer Youth Leadership Forums for high school students with disabilities interested in becoming one of Ohio’s future leaders. 

 

The Ohio Regional Youth Leadership Forum is a week-long career leadership training program designed to improve leadership, citizenship, and social skills. Six of Ohio’s regional Centers for Independent Living offer an in-person forum during the summer months of June, July, or August. More information about dates, times, and locations for 2024 events is coming soon. 

 

This spring, the Ohio Statewide Independent Living Council will begin accepting leadership forum applications from students eligible or potentially eligible for OOD services. 

 

For more information, reach out to your OOD Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor, visit the OSILC Youth Leadership Forum webpage, or contact Christina Carpenter at ccarpenter@ohiosilc.org or 614-809-1513.
