National and local experts teach participants about the local, state and national issues that effect individuals with disabilities. C2P2 participants make a commitment to attend eight two day training sessions during the course of a year. The program selects highly motivated people who represent different ethnic backgrounds and, who for the most part are not already involved in advocacy organizations.
Graduates learn to advocate for themselves and others.
They gain the ability to teach policymakers a new way of thinking about people with disabilities. To find out about C2P2 for Families of Children in Early Intervention, one of C2P2's programs, click here.
