Accessing Advocacy: Creativity, Improvisation, and Acting
In observance of blindness awareness and employment activities in October, this month’s 2-day ACCESS Success session will emphasize the important concept of advocacy and inform choice. You will hear from a panel of peer advocates as well as speak with professionals working in the advocacy space. We will explore all thing advocacy from speaking up for yourself to broad actions such as accessible voting. Do not miss the perfect opportunity for you to get all things advocacy related answered! In addition, you will also apply advocacy concepts in interactive improvisation scenarios. The cohort experience allows transitional age youth to support one another as you explore your strengths, identify interests, discover resources, and develop your identities to cultivate informed choice around attainment of post-secondary outcomes.
The ACCESS Success (Attaining College or Careers to Explore Skills and Strengths) workshops provide a platform for transition-age youth (ages 14-24) to investigate employment and post-secondary topics in-depth both as a cohort experience and with individualized support. The ACCESS Workshops provide a platform for you to further explore a specific independent living, post-secondary, or employment topic in-depth from Friday-Saturday as well as meet new friends, blind/low vision mentors, and stay connected! The ACCESS Success pre-employment transition skills curricula and learning outcomes are intentionally designed to focus on the five (5) required pre-employment transition skills activities (DOR student services) under the national Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. You can join using your phone, tablet, or computer. The entire weekend module is 8 hours in length and held on Friday evening and Saturday
