California Hosts First Youth Leadership Forum

________________________________________________________________

1992

The California Governor’s Committee for Employment of Disabled Persons holds the first Youth Leadership Forum for youth with disabilities. The U.S. Department of Labor soon begins funding other states to develop similar forums in recognition of the important role youth leadership opportunities play in promoting positive employment outcomes for youth with disabilities. By 2007, 23 states have them.
