Description: Spark works in partnership with youth and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to foster, cultivate and expand one’s leadership capabilities. The unique leadership qualities among our youth and adults in Pierce County learn, share and lend their voice and abilities in their communities. The hope is to enhance one’s life and others while also influencing future possibilities. Opportunities include: self-advocacy groups, trainings, and workshops; “Train the Trainer” workshops to further existing knowledge and leadership skills; involvement in community events; learning about local government, including the role it plays in the lives of people with disabilities, how people with disabilities can affect systemic change, and becoming involved and informed in decisions that impact the individual! (Located on the Tacoma Community College Campus in parking lot “I” as you enter from 12th Street; opposite side of the campus from TACID.)
