Getting Paid to Self-Advocate

Attention EDS Self-Advocates!
Do you have strong communication skills? Do you have a good understanding of self-advocacy?
If you answered yes, then there is an opportunity for you to teach others about self-advocacy and get paid for it.

In October, Pioneer is hosting an Illinois Voices workshop titled, "Dare to Dream". This Dare to Dream workshop is full of fun activities to encourage people with developmental disabilities to dream bigger and to identify people who can help support their dreams and make them come true.

Outcomes:
· Identify at least one dream in your life and a small step toward making it happen.
· Identify people who will support your dreams.
· Share ideas about how to change the current service system so it can better support your dreams.

We are looking for 1 EDS client to co-facilitate this event. If this is something you are interested in, you must contact Rachel, Britt or Jan T. right away. There is material to practice and meetings to attend! Don't wait or someone else will earn the $50 bucks!!
