In making this ask, I’m inspired by the work our first cohort of parent leaders have engaged in this fall. Twenty-two parents from across the state each gave over 50 hours of their time over 6 weeks and 12 sessions to activate their advocacy and became empowered parent leaders in their communities. We want to continue this important work, but we need your support. Give today to support our next group of emerging parent leaders.
We’re excited to share an upcoming engagement opportunity: save the date now for our Virtual Learning Summit: Transition to Adulthood on January 29th, 2022. Registration details will come out soon, and we’ll keep you posted.
And we’re introducing a fun new section to our newsletter! Check out the FACT Families section to hear directly from families experiencing disability and how they are working to transform disability and become empowered advocates. We know that so many of you are doing this work: if you’d like to share your own story to be featured in this section or in a blog post, please contact mollybrown@factoregon.org!
Thank you for being in community with us.
Happy Holidays
