The National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability (NCWD) for Youth recently published a series of six tip sheets that provide youth with action steps for dealing with various life transitions and challenges. Each tip sheet begins with a series of questions geared toward helping youth determine the degree to which each topic is relevant to their lives.

The tip sheets then provide background information on the subject matter, including definitions of key terms and reasons that the youth should consider making progress within that domain. Specific action steps are provided, and the tip sheets conclude with helpful supplementary information, such as additional resources. Visit the NCWD for Youth website formore youth development-focused publications!

The tip sheets cover the following topics:

• Becoming a Stronger Self-Advocate
• Leading Your Transition Planning
• Learning Disability History
• Getting Involved in Volunteering
• Serving on Decision-Making Boards
• Participating in Internships and Work-Based Experiences
