About The Committee

The Youth Leadership Committee (YLC) is a group of youth, with disabilities, between the ages of 16 and 26 who are emerging leaders in the state of Utah.

YLC’s mission is to get youth involved in self-advocacy, peer mentoring and other activities that will improve the quality of life for youth with disabilities. The Youth Leadership Committee empowers youth to fact find what issues are important to their generation, to convey their findings to the Utah Statewide Independent Living Council, to express those issues in their state and local communities, and to develop strategies to solve them.

We are seeking a group of enthusiastic, motivated youth to participate. If you would like to take a leadership role in advocating for youth in Utah, please join us!
