Reap What You Sow: Harvesting Support Systems Institute


Reap What You Sow: Harvesting Support Systems

July 29 – 31, 2010

Raleigh, North Carolina


The National Youth Leadership Network is excited to announce the dates
for a new hands-on training opportunity.  The training focuses on
creating your own support systems.  Support systems are teams of
people that help make your goals realities.  This event is created for
young people, parents, siblings, friends, allies, teachers, community
support providers, and more.
Reap What You Sow: Harvesting Support Systems is the title of the
training.  It will be held July 29 – 31, 2010 in Raleigh, North
Carolina.  SAVE THE DATES and REGISTER NOW!  For more information,
visit our web site www.nyln.org.  There will be a link at the bottom
of the page for more information and registration.  We will also have
an Information Walk-About Session on Friday, July 30, 2010.  If you
are interested in hosting a table, please visit our web site and find
the Information Walk-About form.

This training program is possible thanks to a grant.  This grant is
through the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS),
Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD).

The National Youth Leadership Network (NYLN) is a youth-driven,
youth-led organization.  We are a formal non-profit.  NYLN is made up
of young leaders with disabilities.  We live throughout the United
States and its territories.   NYLN promotes youth leadership and
education.  We teach young people how to advocate.  Our goal is to
make sure that young people with disabilities know how to set and
reach their own goals.
