Youth of Tomorrow - Meet Student Advocacy Leaders


This month, Youth of Tomorrow will meet with fellow students who are
involved in student consumer advocacy groups and talk about how they are
important for connecting you to your peers, support and resources. A
student panel will present and teach you about these student advocacy
groups as well offer a safe space to ask them your questions related to
advocating for your needs at school, work or with the public and connect
with each other in a relaxed and fun environment. Bring your lunch as we
discuss and learn about National Federation of the Blind <https://nfb.org/>
 and American Council of the Blind <https://acb.org/> student groups
from the students that participate in them.

Students (CCBS) <https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064833189429>.
