Mission/Vision Statement:
We have formed a coalition that is open to any individual or any staff member from any agency to offer a platform for socialization, communication and sharing of resource and information. The members of the group all know that one form of self-advocacy simply means "speaking up for yourself".

Typical Activities:
We are always looking to partner with members of the community.
We have established a self- advocacy group that welcomes not only the individuals with special needs that we support but the group is open to all agencies.
Participants enjoy having their own social event where they can share stories of success, receive updates on current events, meet professional sports mascots and politicians!
The group is called Voices of U.S. (Unified Speakers).
