Wellman youth graduates from Youth Leadership Academy

Posted

Students from across Iowa recently completed the Iowa Developmental Disabilities Council’s (Iowa DD Council) Youth Leadership Academy (YLA) program, including Sariah Stutzman of Wellman.

YLA is an annual training that allows students ages 14-21 with disabilities to develop valuable leadership skills like goal setting, self-determination, civic engagement, networking, and mentoring. Over the course of 10 hours, participants gain skills that can be used for a lifetime.  

“Congratulations to the 2023 Youth Leadership Academy graduates,” says Iowa DD Council Executive Director Brooke Lovelace. “The future looks bright with these young leaders. I wish the graduates the best of luck in their leadership journey.”  

This program was sponsored by Access 2 Independence, ASK Resource Center, the Iowa Developmental Disabilities Council, and Iowa’s University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD).
