Project Goal
Expand impact by recruiting and sustaining new self-advocate members and advocate volunteers
Project Summary
Through Capacity Building Mini-Grants for Self-Advocacy Groups, TCDD supports local self-advocacy groups in building their organizational capacity to become more established in their communities, create partnerships, and conduct formal activities. As a result of project activities, organizations will expand their role and impact.
Gulf Coast Self-Advocates — in partnership with The Arc of the Gulf Coast — will recruit new members and volunteers to support self-advocate members with activities, transportation, and decision-making. The project will support scholarships for new and existing members and volunteers to attend the annual Texas Advocates Conference. Gulf Coast Self-Advocates will also present self-advocacy information in local school districts through collaboration with Imagine Enterprises.
