NCYLF alumni are welcome to apply.

Here is the application, and here is some more information about Zooming with the NCYLF. The deadline to apply is Sunday, May 17, 2020. Spread the word to youth who you know or apply today to be a part of the adventure!!

Zooming with the NCYLF is a free and accessible program coordinated by Youth LEAD NC. Youth LEAD NC is committed to working with its partners to find solutions for those who may want to participate but do not have reliable internet access.

Youth LEAD NC’s mission is to foster the independence of youth with disabilities in North Carolina while empowering them to be change agents in their communities by providing transition services and peer to peer mentoring.

Hope to see you “Zooming” with the NCYLF this summer!!

Our Purpose

We encourage independent living for persons with disabilities. The goal of Solutions for Independence is to help individuals with disabilities become more integrated into society. We believe that people with disabilities, no matter what age, should have the opportunity to make their own life choices. We are actively engaged in helping to alleviate barriers that deter those with disabilities full participation within their community.

We are committed to helping break the mold of traditional attitudes about those with disabilities.

We accomplish this by working with other service agencies to foster awareness among the general population of the strengths of persons with disabilities.
