Introduction to Special Education Advocacy
An Informational Session about Becoming a Volunteer Advocate with our New Special Education Ministry
When: Saturday, April 25th, 10:00-11:30 am, OR
Wednesday, May 6, 10:00-11:30 am.
Where: St. John’s (McPhail Hall, April 25; Scout Rm, May 6).
What: Information about the special education process and the needs of low-income families for advocate services; the role and expectations for our volunteer advocates; information on future training opportunities.
Why: Because without volunteer advocates, more children will not receive the individualized special education and services they need to prepare them for further education, employment and independent living.
Who: Anyone with a passion for seeking justice for children. No experience is necessary. We do have special needs for Spanish speakers and people with prior special education experience.
