Self-Advocacy
Self-advocates are encouraged to participate in all of Arc Greater Twin Cities' programs, services and committees, starting with the Board of Directors, which includes two adults with disabilities. Get involved!
Arc also works with Advocating Change Together and other self-advocacy organizations listed in the right column and occasionally offers programming uniquely for self-advocates.

Discover what it takes to be a super self-advocate! Empower your life by learning to speak up for choices you want at home, at work and at leisure. Contact Barb Lemke, 952-920-0855 for more information on these special Saturdays.

- Supporting each other
- Finding answers to unmet needs
- Working for independence and self-sufficiency
- Helping people in the community understand and accept individuals with disabilities
It's Your Choice, Find Your Voice!
Offered through transition programs, to teach teens and adults with disabilities how to make decisions, speak up, understand their rights and develop relationships. This Arc program is one of very few in the community specifically for adults with disabilities.
