Abstract | The National Consortium on Leadership and Disability for Youth (NCLD-Youth) is one of 15 Youth Resource, Information, and Training Centers focused on empowering youth and emerging leaders with developmental disabilities. The NCLD-Youth is a youth-led center with partners in the District of Columbia as well as in the states of Florida and New Hampshire. NCLD-Youth strives to support and promote the next generation of leaders in the disability community through the following three objectives: (1) identify and develop high quality, disability specific curricula around the five areas of youth development and leadership; (2) test, refine, and disseminate instructional materials throughout a variety of states to build networks of national, state, and local level partnerships of peer mentors, adult advisors and councils of youth and emerging leaders; and (3) develop, train, and mentor youth and emerging young leaders with developmental disabilities in each of the three partner states to influence state and local-level youth development and leadership public policy. This guide is designed to help youth with disabilities become stronger advocates. This encompasses a wide array of issues including the basics of how a bill becomes a law, how to self-educate on the issues that are important, and how to use that information in talking with legislators. This is developed for and by young people with disabilities to be used in classroom settings, in trainings, and to better prepare young people to advocate for themselves.
