About Us
Mission
To counter the exclusion of disabled youth and disrupt the attitudes and practices that limit their full participation in community life.
Vision
By raising awareness through educational programming, community engagement and advocacy, we will work to change public perceptions of disabled youth, shifting the focus from their limitations to instead recognizing their strengths and potential.
Why It Matters
Too often, advocacy by and on behalf of disabled youth becomes adversarial because of expectations and attitudes that fail to value disability and neurodiversity. We want to shift that dynamic by dismantling the structures in place that exclude disabled youth. By raising awareness, we hope to empower disabled youth to guide us in building a more just community where all youth have value, belong and thrive.
