Join us for "Let Them Lead - Untapping the potential of volunteers with disabilities," a workshop designed specifically for volunteer coordinators in nonprofits.

In this session, we’ll aim to break down many barriers that prevent people with disabilities from successful volunteer experiences. Participants can expect to gain a greater understanding about people with disabilities and how to work effectively with them, learn about the strong business case for engaging the disability population, and create a vision for what meaningful inclusion looks like in their organizations.
