NCCDD's Self-Advocate Discussion Series

Getting Active in Advocacy

The Self-Advocate Discussion Series is hosted by North Carolina on Developmental Disabilities (NCCDD) every third Wednesday of the month. The series aims to keep North Carolina self-advocates informed and engaged in discussion on topics of social and systems change. Series sessions are a time to connect with others with lived experience, share common interests, develop impact strategies for telling personal stories, and stay connected with the NCCDD community.

This session is dedicated to North Carolina Disability Leadership Training Graduates. Join leaders with lived experience from the Ability Leadership Program of North Carolina, I/DD Peer Mentor Training Program, and members of the NC Advocacy Leaders Network (graduates from PIP, ASL, LEND, GRIP, STIR, and more) who will be spotlighted to share their stories about the training they have participated in and the advocacy experiences they engaged after training. Please join us to hear from some of the state’s finest and most successful advocacy leaders.
