Good afternoon, Listserv members! We have a few transition tidbits to share with you today:
(1) 2010 MYLF applications:
Applications for Student Delegates, Staff positions and Presenters for the 2010 Montana Youth Leadership Forum must be postmarked by April 2, 2010. MYLF will be held on the campus of Carroll College in Helena, Montana, July 12-16 for student delegates and July 11-16 for staff.
Forms can be downloaded from the MYLF web site at
www.montanaylf.org
(2) MT-TIRC Advisory Board T-Shirt Sales:
The MT-TIRC Advisory Board is selling T-shirts to raise money so the board can continue to function after the MT-TIRC grant ends on September 30, 2010. The T-shirts share information about the Emerging Leader project, which is one of the MT-TIRC activities. The goal of this activity is to highlight stories of young people with developmental disabilities and ongoing support needs who live, learn, work and/or play inclusively in their communities.
T-shirts are $15 each and are available in sizes small through extra-extra large. Youth from the board and students working with the MT-TIRC project are selling the shirts, overseeing their packaging and shipping, and handling the accounting responsibilities for the sales.
(3) Disability Mentoring Day (10/20/10):
Disability Mentoring Day is designed to bring students and young people with disabilities into the workplace where they can learn about various career opportunities. Through DMD, students and young people will experience a day of job shadowing with a career professional to learn what it means to work in that field or occupation, observe a typical workday, identify necessary skills, and learn about employment prospects.
To participate in a job shadowing experience in your area on Disability Mentoring Day, Wednesday, October 20, 2010, please
