Youth Engagement Opportunity

We want to hear from YOU! CAPE-Youth is looking for youth, ages 16-24, to participate in our upcoming national working group. Youth will have the opportunity to meet directly with state leaders, travel to conferences and make a change! CAPE-Youth helps states develop services, laws and programs that improve employment outcomes for youth with disabilities. The Center prioritizes youth voice, and recognizes the importance of having youth at the table to act as leaders, share their experiences and interact directly with policymakers. 

CAPE-Youth will gather a working group consisting of 25 legislative and executive branch members and 5-10 youth members. The youth involved in the working group will discuss ideas for addressing issues that youth with disabilities face in their communities and engage with state leaders to improve the transition from high school to employment or college. All youth participants will be provided with a stipend as well as lodging and travel accommodations.

Please email completed applications to sgeiger@csg.org.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me! We are very excited for this opportunity for youth!
