News from the Youth Advisory Committee of the National Council on Disability

Join this list to receive occasional announcements about Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) meetings, requests for participation, and reports.

Messages sent on the YAC News List reflect the perspective and efforts of youth on the committee and are not official National Council on Disability policy.

Who are we?
We are young adults with disabilities who advise the National Council on Disability (NCD)
http://www.ncd.gov

about issues faced by children, adolescents, and young adults with disabilities. NCD is an independent federal agency that makes policy recommendations to the White House and Congress and works with national, regional, state, and tribal leaders. The YAC is authorized as an advisory group to make recommendations directly to NCD and hopes to create a representative youth agenda for the next generation of Americans with disabilities.
