This month, Youth of Tomorrow will meet with fellow students who are involved in student consumer advocacy groups and talk about how they are important for connecting you to your peers, support and resources. A student panel will present and teach you about these student advocacy groups as well offer a safe space to ask them your questions related to advocating for your needs at school, work, or with the public, and connect with each other in a relaxed and fun environment. Bring your lunch as we discuss and learn about National Federation of the Blind and American Council of the Blind.
