Alabama Youth Leadership Forum
The inaugural Alabama Youth Leadership Forum (YLF) was held on the campus of Troy
University in June 1999. YLF is an innovative, intensive, five-day career leadership
training program for high school juniors and seniors with disabilities. These students
come to the Youth Leadership Forum from throughout Alabama. As part of the Forum,
delegates attend sessions on self-advocacy, independent living, career exploration,
healthcare transitioning, and assistive technology. Delegates travel to the State
Capitol where they meet with State Legislators and the Governor. Delegates attend
a Mentor Luncheon where each delegate is paired with an adult with a disability (typically
similar to his/her own). This luncheon creates the opportunity to discuss the delegates’
goals and challenges with individuals who can best understand the challenges faced
by those delegates. The luncheon typically is keynoted by an achieving disabled individual,
providing further encouragement and counsel to the delegates. During the week, there
are opportunities for socializing as well as leadership activities for the delegates.
The program provides delegates with the tools and information needed for their success
as they return to their homes, schools and communities to face challenges that may
arise, know they can become employed, live independently and be successful contributing
adults in society.

The Greater Alabama Black Belt Regional Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation
STEM Summer Academy
Troy University is offering a free weeklong summer program intended to increase the
number of minority students pursuing science, technology, engineering, or mathematics
(STEM) degrees as part of the Greater Alabama Black Belt Region Louis Stokes Alliances
for Minority Participation (GABBR LSAMP), a scholarship program of the National Science
Foundation. The program requires that these students be from one of the following
minority groups: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska
Natives, Native Hawaiians, or Native Pacific Islanders. Students must have a cumulative
GPA of 3.0 or above, and have recommendations from a STEM teacher and a school counselor.
The ten selected students will spend one week at Troy University where they will stay
in a residence hall, take academic classes, and engage in other activities intended
to prepare them for pursuing a STEM degree. Housing and food will be provided at
no cost.
Should these students later enroll at Troy University, they will be considered for
one of our LSAMP scholarships.
The GABBR Alliance is made up of eight institutions from the Black Belt region.

and compassion through instructional support by practicing reading, writing, interviewing,
and technology skills. Seniors will share a wealth of knowledge from their life experiences
by offering mentoring to the youth that should extend beyond the project. BRIDGE
