New Community Learning Exchange – Lead On: Igniting Youth Voice, Promoting Youth Choice

The National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability for Youth (NCWD/Youth) and the Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) are hosting a Community Learning Exchange (CLE) entitled Lead On: Igniting Youth Voice, Promoting Youth Choice. The CLE is not a conference, but rather an opportunity for community teachers, leaders, and activists of all ages and stages to come together for deep learning. The Lead On CLE will bring together youth with disabilities and their peer and adult allies in efforts to increase youth voice.
