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. We are in the process of determining new goals and new objectives that would begin in 2011, and we want to hear from you! · What do young leaders with disabilities want to know? · What do you want to learn about? · How can NYLN be more helpful to you? We want input from young leaders and allies (parents, siblings, friends, allies, teachers, community support providers, and more). Your voice matters! Please visit our web page, www.nyln.org, and click on the link at the bottom. It's called: NYLN Priorities. One survey is for young leaders with disabilities under 28 years old.
