So often, people with disabilities and their family members aren't heard. They aren't regarded as leaders in the community.

We are here to tell you that you CAN be a leader and an excellent one at that!
Sometimes it's just hard to know where to begin.

Community Leadership Academy (CLA) is a 6-week course designed to teach individuals with disabilities and family members of people with disabilities how to be leaders in their communities around South Carolina.

The course is divided into six, 1 ½ hour sessions on Zoom that teach individuals ethics and responsibilities, being an effective leader, supporting your community through leadership, professionalism, communicating your message, disability rights, and how to make community entities accessible to people with disabilities.

At the end of the course, participants will be matched with leadership areas of interest in their communities!

Spots are reserved for people with disabilities and family members of people with health conditions. If either of those descriptions apply to you, register today!
