I'm proud to serve and be served by this great organization. I've been on the board for over 12 years and been served for over 15 years since our son, Nick, was born with I/DD. Non-profits depend on fund raising to support their mission. The mission of The Arc of MN is critical to many people in Minnesota. Please consider making a donation.
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
