About UsWE ARE young people with different abilities, of different nationalities, with different cultures and unique styles, beliefs and values working together to make "different" the new "normal"!
We will work to influence others to see the beauty in diversity and to celebrate and respect all differences. We will fight to end bullying and to take the "DIS" out of disability! |
OUR MISSION is to create opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to be seen, heard and valued as members of the communities we live in, and to influence others to celebrate and respect all differences.If you really think about it,
every person on Earth has a "disability", but some people are labeled by theirs! We have decided, as strong and capable members of society, not be defined by our color, culture, gender, or "disability". Instead, we will prove to the world how ABLED we are, lifting and inspiring others others on our way to the top! |
Public SpeakingWe give presentations across San Francisco promoting diversity awareness and showing off what we CAN do, despite being labeled by a disability.
We've presented at some of the most iconic events and locations in our area!
