Feeling connected matters. This December, VAD is launching a six-month online pilot to help people with disabilities connect, share ideas, and build community.

From December to May, we will host 12 online sessions—two each month. Each session will include:
• A welcoming space to meet others
• A safe, guided discussion
• A guest speaker on a topic chosen by participants

Douglas, our new Community Engagement Coordinator, will work with participants to shape the project. Complete the survey below to learn more and tell us what would make these sessions useful for you.
If you need assistance, please contact Douglas:
