Voices of the People Self-Advocacy Group meets monthly to network, plan fundraising activities and discuss community involvement opportunities. What is a Self Advocate? It is someone who has a voice in their life. There is a movement all over the world for individuals with developmental disabilities who would like to have more of a say in the decision making processes in their lives. This positive change will help providers, county board staff, families, and individuals work together, as a team, to give everyone the best life that they can have. You can also follow our Facebook page or keep an eye on our Events Calendar to stay tuned into our upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. We volunteer for local businesses and organizations in the community. We participate in activities to help us find out what our strengths, weaknesses, interests, and goals are. We also make a plan of action for making the changes that we think are important in our lives, our community, and in greater society. In the future, we see ourselves finding our ability to SPEAK UP for ourselves and Empower the People.  Here is what the group had to say about our future: “I see the group members starting to advocate for themselves.” – Advocate
