Youth Leadership Forum
June 9-13, 2026 will be the 23rd Oklahoma Youth Leadership Forum (YLF)! YLF is an extraordinary opportunity for high school students with a disability to learn more about themselves & leading their lives. Students accepted will spend a week on a college campus with other students from across Oklahoma. Together, they’ll learn how to speak up for themselves, lead groups, spend the day at the State Capitol, and much more! YLF is funded by the Developmental Disabilities Council of Oklahoma and there is no cost for accepted students.
More information about YLF and applications can be found on the website: https://oklahoma.gov/ddco/
You can also reach out to Brad Mays with your questions!
APPLICATION DEADLINE: Applications are due March 1 every year.
