Another great opportunity...Youth Leadership Academy!!

(Baltimore, MD)

On March 23-25, we are hosting the NFB Youth Leadership Academy for high school students and we need your help in spreading the word! The NFB Youth Leadership Academy provides participants an opportunity to meet successful blind mentors, to connect with other blind students, and to acquire new skills. There is no cost to the student and the weekend will be a lot of fun. The application can be completed and submitted by visiting: http://teachblindstudents.org/content/youth-leadership-academy-application

These weekends help build a lot of excitement about the Federation. I encourage each of you to help us get lots of students to this event. If you have any questions, please contact Rosy Carranza via email at rcarranza@nfb.org or by giving her a call at (410) 659-9314, ext. 2283.

Thanks for your help in developing the next generation of leaders!

Best,
