Description
Unboxing Accessibility is a free 4-month mentorship program for BIPOC young people with disabilities. This hybrid program empowers youth with a sense of belonging, social connection, and a space to explore why their voice matters. Participants will have the opportunity to participate as a mentor or mentee to start a dialogue with each other through journal writing, storytelling, visual arts, and interactive digital media. In addition, participants will receive a program kit that contains tools, equipment, and/or resources to compliment weekly sessions. By the end of the program, participants will be connected to a community, have gained advocacy and leadership skills and an opportunity to showcase their stories through a public viewing or exhibition.
