Members of the Youth Advisory Community make up a group of Youth and/or Young Adults between the ages of 16 and 29, who have disabilities or ongoing healthcare considerations that share their life experience and provide their expertise and advisement to improve supports and services for individuals who have disabilities and their families.
This group name and quote was chosen by our YAC to represent themselves.
Mission Statement: The Youth Advisory Community provides resources, real life applications and practical tools to individuals, their families, and professionals from a youth perspective about disabilities. We empower youth and young adults with disabilities through paid opportunities to have their voice heard. We strive for inclusivity and equity with no limitations.
