The Center for Disability Empowerment is anxious to promote its Youth Empowerment Program.
"The overall goal of this program is to increase independence, opportunities and community participation for Youth in transition. " Susan Hetrick Executive Director The Center for Disability Empowerment The project will address the needs of youth with disabilities in their senior year of high school or those who have completed their secondary education, or otherwise left school. Independence, community inclusion and participation will be facilitated through Independent Living Skill development in the possible areas of post-secondary education, community based employment, recreation/social activities and self-advocacy. This will be accomplished through one-on-one and group activities.
