Youth Leadership Forum

The Able Trust hosted its 17th Annual Florida Youth Leadership Forum (YLF) in July. High school students with disabilities from around the state came to Tallahassee to develop their leadership skills. The 50 young people selected to participate go through a competitive selection process to participate in YLF. On July 22, a Resource Forum was held with 12 agencies sharing information with the students, including APD. Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) Communications Director Melanie Mowry Etters manned the table. The YLF participants visited the various tables to learn about the statewide resources that are available for people with disabilities, including APD’s Rish Park.
