IDR Searching for Youth Ambassadors

Indiana Disability Rights is excited to share a new opportunity with you. Indiana Disability Rights and Self-Advocates of Indiana have partnered with the Center for Youth Voice, Youth Choice to promote less-restrictive alternatives to guardianship for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

We are actively searching for Youth Ambassadors! Youth Ambassadors will begin by learning about the self-advocacy movement, leadership techniques, and alternatives to guardianship. Then Youth Ambassadors will share their own stories and create and implement a community advocacy plan of action. Youth Ambassadors will receive a $750 stipend.

Interested in learning more? If you are a Hoosier between the ages of 14 and 26 and have a developmental disability, we want to hear from you! Please review the attached flyer or our website (IDR: Get Started with Supported Decision-Making (SDM): Be a Youth Ambassador!) for more details. Also contact Ella Boyd (Email: eboyd@arcind.org , Phone: 317.224.0242) to let her know that you want to participate.
