Act Today Influence Tomorrow

Boston Center for Independent Living, in collaboration with Easter Seals Massachusetts, would like to invite youth, ages 16-24 with any type of disability, to join a youth-led advocacy group for high school students. Act Today Influence Tomorrow is a group that brings together youth and young adults with various disabilities to make positive change in their community, discover their abilities, and help others. Group members also get to have fun and make new friends. We invite all young people with disabilities to join this advocacy group because it is your energy and creative ideas that will lead the disability rights movement into the future. 

 

Over the last few years Act Today Influence Tomorrow has had some great successes. The group successfully advocated for the Massachusetts state legislature to establish October as Disability History Month in public schools. We also produced disability awareness videos and made several presentations to state and community leaders.  Nearly one hundred youth have participated in Act Today Influence Tomorrow in the past five years.

A member of Act Today Influence Tomorrow is:

 

Participants may attend as many meeting, events, and gatherings as they desire.

We meet once a month at Easter Seals at 89 South St. Boston, MA 02111.

For more information, please contact Stacy Hart at 617-338-6665 xt. 234, or by email at Shart@Bostoncil.org. Together we can spread the word and build our group of young disability rights movement activists.
