BLT empowered young adults with disabilities

The Becoming Leaders for Tomorrow (BLT) Project was designed to provide materials and opportunities to help youth and young adults with disabilities as they transition into adulthood.

In collaboration with the Utah Parent Center (UPC), a small group of participants were trained in leadership, advocacy, and transition issues. After completing the training, these youth became trainers and mentors for other youth and young adults across Utah.

The BLT website provides resources and information for youth and other young adults with disabilities who would be interested in taking the training. Brochures were developed and disseminated across Utah, inviting others to participate in this training.
