NCIL Presents: Creating a Wider Vision for Youth Transition in CILs

Creating a Wider Vision for Youth Transition in CILs
December 14, 2016; 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. Eastern

Register online or by using the printable registration form (PDF).

Youth transition is a new required service of CILs under the “5th Core Service” of WIOA. But youth aren’t a service and “by and for youth” isn’t new to the Independent Living Movement. Join us on December 14th to take the mystery out of youth transition and learn how your CIL can excel at providing IL services to young people with disabilities in your community. Our presenters will explore the history of youth in IL, what it means to have youth as a target population for CILs, strategies for reaching youth and involving them in meaningful roles in your CIL, and how to plan for successful youth leadership and services.

Registration Fee: $75.00. Fee is per site (connection) and does not apply per participant; registrants are encouraged to gather as many individuals as desired to participate by telephone or webinar.

Target Audience
CIL Program Managers, IL Specialists, Youth Transition Facilitators, and any other staff members who work with youth with disabilities.

Learning Objectives 
Upon completion of this webinar, participants will have knowledge and resources that will enable them to: 

• Describe the history of serving youth in CILs and how the requirement of the new 5th core service, which includes youth transition, makes youth a more formal targeted population.

• Identify strategies and examples to develop and drive youth culture in CILs that include adapting existing programs.

• Explain the importance of including youth in a significant role in the development, implementation, and delivery of services. 

• Describe helpful tools and resources available for centers to conduct strategic planning for youth services.
