What is the Self Advocacy Leadership Institute
It is a four-day event created by self advocate leaders to support the learning and skill development of 25 of their peer self advocates. If this year is successful, the planning committee would like to offer this opportunity every two years to a new group of peer self advocates.
Self advocacy is when people take control of their own lives. Self advocacy is sharing or expressing what you need and making informed decisions about the support you receive.
The Self Advocacy Movement is a movement made mostly of and by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are taking control of their lives and communicating as a group of active citizens.
Who can apply:
- You must be 19+.
- You need to live in BC.
- You must be a self advocate and want to be part of the self advocacy movement.
