Get involved!

1. If you are interested in getting involved in advocacy efforts or learning more about disability inclusion, a good way to start is to get in touch with local, national or regional organizations and networks of persons with disabilities. Reach out to the following networks to identify local organizations:

• Women Enabled International’s Global mapping of advocates
• EDF member organizations
• African Disability Forum member organizations
• Pacific Disability Forum member organizations
• RIADIS - The Latin American Network of Non-Governmental Organizations of Persons with Disabilities and their Families member organizations
• Inclusion International member organizations

2. Inquire what local or international organizations support children and youth with disabilities and ask how can you help.

3. Should you be interested in expanding your education, know that many universities provide scholarships and fellowships for young people with disabilities.
