Equip Leadership Group
We see you. The real you. The one behind what others see as your disability.
At Equip, we understand what it means to do life just a little differently. That’s because we’ve been there. As young adults with disabilities ourselves, we’ll help you take the lead in your life and find your voice.
Equip is a peer-to-peer young adult leadership group focused on empowerment, support, and camaraderie for youth ages 13-28 with disabilities. Our young adult leaders guide youth with every type of disability in finding their a-ha moment—when they take charge of their lives, find their unique voice to self-advocate, and engage with their community of peers more fully.
We get together regularly through:
- Monthly in-person and online hangouts
- Week-long summer leadership series
- One-on-one peer mentoring
