Pennsylvania’s Department of Health, Pennsylvania Association of Pediatrics, and the Parent Education Advocacy Leader Center are creating a new program for youth with disabilities to become empowered to be able to make changes in the state. They are looking for youth with disability from eastern Pennsylvania, ages 14-28, to bring their experiences to the group.  They have exciting activities planned where youth will meet other youth who are dealing with the same types of issues that they are.   There are three meetings to help youth learn how to make a difference in their lives and the lives of other youth with disabilities across Pennsylvania.  The eastern Pennsylvania Institute will be Saturday evening, February 20^th, from 6 – 9 p.m. and Sunday, February 21^st,  9 a.m.-4 p.m.  Youth under 18 years of age will be required to bring a parent of adult chaperone.  The hotel room, food, and travel will be paid for.
