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.

More: For more information about becoming a volunteer advocate or about other opportunities to help in this new ministry, contact Suzette Harrel at 713-501-4703; suzharrel@comcast.net, or Ann Hardy at 713-723-6266; hardy-johnandann@hotmail.com.
