What is Self-Advocacy?
Self-advocacy is letting others know what you need and want, but also being responsible to work to help yourself and others.
Through our Youth Self-Advocacy meetings, we help individuals with developmental disabilities gain tools and confidence to communicate and build relationships.
Our goal is to support young people as they continue to create effective relationships where all members can learn, participate, and contribute as individuals and as part of a larger community.
Please note: Participants must be 18 to 25 years of age and eligible clients of the DSHS*/Division of Developmental Disabilities.
