Purpose of Dissemination:
To ensure material, tools, and resources from the LEAD Center reach and support diverse communities based on race/ethnicity, geography, gender, sexual orientation, disability, veteran-status, and those who have multiple intersecting identities.
Specific protective factors exist that can help youth and young adults with intersecting identities overcome employment obstacles…for example, LGBTQI+ youth with disabilities may have access to an association of mentors.” Explore the new @CAPEYouth brief, “Addressing the Needs of Youth with Disabilities and Other Intersecting Identities: State Strategies for Program Design.” This resource is in English only. bit.ly/45IA8OQ
