The Leadership Series is a 10 month training program that teaches people who have a developmental disabilty, along with their support staff and family members, some of the basic building blocks of how to be a Leader. Prior to hosting the Leadership Series, Advocates in Action and our partner organization PAL developed and hosted "Partners in Policymaking Rhode Island".
Partners-RI was modeled on the national PARTNERS IN POLICYMAKING program developed by the Minnesota Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities. You can find out more about the national program by visiting www.partnersinpolicymaking.com.
Advocates in Action and PAL were able to offer an annual Partners in Policymaking-RI class from 1996-2001 with support from the
RI DD Council and the RI Division of Developmental Disabilities. In 2001 we began the Leadership Series, which we continue to offer to a new group of approximately 14-16 students every year.
Class size is limited so that we can provide an individualized learning experience to each members of the Leadership Series. The smaller size also provide students the opportunity to interact more closely and to develop some powerful lifelong friendships with their fellow leaders. If you or someone you know is interesting in being a part of the next Leadership Series, click below to download an application for the Class of 2012. Applications and 2 letters of support are due by Thursday, August 4th, 2011.
