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.
This fun and exciting camp will not only help teach the game and skills used on the soccer field, but also include different activities and games that the children will enjoy. There will be different groups in the camp that take in age and skill set in to factor. Trojan Soccer Camp offer a safe environment for the children to get the summer started on the right foot.

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.
