Access Living’s Youth Leadership Trainings
Access Living recognizes that today's youth with disabilities are tomorrow's disability rights leaders. Our Independent Living Skills Training’s are designed to develop new leaders in the Disability Rights movement who:
• Take pride in themselves and their accomplishments;
• Find options and meaningful choices to live, learn and work in their communities;
• Develop self-advocacy skills to fight discrimination; and
• Develop skills and opportunities to have a voice in decisions that affect them
