Yes I Can! is a campaign to raise $100,000 so that 100 new self-advocates can be trained in leadership development. With your donation of $100, we can make this happen!
As a newly merged, statewide organization, The Arc Minnesota is expanding their self-advocacy leadership development training across Minnesota. By the end of 2020, they want to train 100 new self-advocates on how to fight for their human rights and the rights of other people with disabilities. Some of the ways that self-advocates have used these skills are:
Joining a committee to influence change
Sitting on panels to discuss issues that affect them
Leading a training to inform the community
Sharing their story to inspire future self-advocates
