The National Federation of the Blind Youth Slam
A 2007 STEM Leadership Academy

Explore, Dream, Discover!

>From July 30-August 4, 2007, two hundred blind and low vision high school students will stay at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, to be mentored by blind role models during fun and challenging activities meant to build confidence, expand leadership and advocacy skills, and increase science literacy. Participants will also attend various social events as well as workshops on topics such as leadership, career preparation, and advocacy. The NFB Youth Slam will culminate in an inspiring rally at Baltimore's Inner Harbor and a celebration at the center of innovation in the field of blindness-the NFB Jernigan Institute. The NFB Youth Slam will be the most dynamic gathering of blind youth ever.

Sign Up Now!

Those interested in participating as students or mentors should complete an application by April 1, 2007.
