Ready to use your voice with confidence? Penn-Mar’s annual Advocacy Training brings self-advocates, families and team members together to learn how advocacy connects directly to our shared work.

This training is hosted by the Penn-Mar Advocacy Collective and is designed for anyone who wants to better understand current policy issues and how to speak up in simple, effective ways. No experience required. If you care about people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, you already belong in the room.

What you’ll learn:

• Updates on policies that impact our work and the people we support

• How the Penn-Mar Advocacy Collective works together to drive change

• Practical tips for advocating in ways that feel natural and doable
