The Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) is seeking a diverse group of highly-motivated and enthusiastic men and women to participate in the fourth class of DC Advocacy Partners (DC AP). DC AP is a free nine-month leadership training program designed for self-advocates and family members of individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities. DC Advocacy Partners is funded by the DC Developmental Disabilities Council. Here's a little more information:
· DC Advocacy Partners is completely FREE! Classes, meals, transportation, and childcare/respite are at no cost to selected participants.
· Participants must be 18 or older and either have an intellectual/developmental disability or be a family member of someone with an intellectual/developmental disability. They must also be DC residents.
· Participants must be able to make a commitment to attend nine day-and-a-half sessions (Friday evening and Saturday once a month) between January 2014 and September 2014. They also must commit to completing all assignments and keeping the DC AP staff informed as to their advocacy activities after graduation in September.
· Topics to be addressed will include Disability History and Services, Inclusive Education, Integrated Employment, Community Organizing, Local and Federal legislation, and more!
