Call for submissions to newsletter for and by youth with disabilities

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I've got an exciting opportunity to share with you. The National Youth

Leadership Network (NYLN) has recently called for submissions for their

Winter newsletter, which will reach hundreds of people with and without

disabilities. NYLN is a non-profit organization that works to promote

advocacy and leadership development for youth with disabilities (ages 15-28)

The next issue's theme will be EDUCATION and all submissions related to

that topic are encouraged. We are especially interested in hearing from

youth with their perspective on transitioning to college after experiencing

the IEP process. I've attached the submission guidelines and pasted them

below because I know I get my e-mails from this list in daily digest format

and I miss out on attachments. So, all the information you need is below.

Feel free to forward this along to any youths with disabilities you might

know. This is not only an excellent way to find out more about NYLN through

active participation in the Network but also it's a great way to build your

resume and gain publication experience.

If you have any questions or would like support during the writing process,

feel free to contact me (Kara) at karasheridan@...

Thanks for your time and happy holidays,

Kara Sheridan
