March is National Disability Awareness Month

APRIL values the advocacy that each and every member of the disability community provides on a daily basis. Whether educating large groups as a professional or one-on-one with community members, friends, and family, all the conversations and education go toward reducing the stigma about people with disabilities and ensuring increased community access and participation.

We are putting out a Call for Nominations to ensure we give all individuals the opportunity be recognized and celebrated for the passion and advocacy they bring to the table. For the entire month of March we will be accepting nominations, and will plan on highlighting individuals in April. You can nominate yourself or someone else.

There are no rules on who can be nominated! Whether you or someone you know are making an impact on a systems, community, or individual level; we want to celebrate and acknowledge your passion and contribution!

For any questions please contact Rachel Kaplan, APRIL Communication Specialist at aprilinfo@april-rural.org.

Visit the website to nominate yourself or someone else for Disability Advocacy Recognition.
