We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Wisconsin Disability Policy Program, an innovative program to empower people with developmental disabilities and their family members to engage in policy advocacy and leadership. This program is funded by the Inclusa Foundation, with an aim to foster inclusive communities.
The Wisconsin Disability Policy Leadership Program aims to train future leaders by equipping people with the knowledge and skills necessary to impact disability policy and advocate for change through year-long paid Fellowships and short-term (4-6 month) part-time paid internships. This program focuses on professional development, offering valuable work experience and mentoring to enhance career opportunities in the disability policy and advocacy field. By fostering a better statewide understanding of disability issues, the program seeks to expand inclusive policies in Wisconsin.
