There's still time for youth to register for Tuesday's training!

🚀 Self-advocacy is powerful. Community advocacy can change lives.
Join us June 23rd for *Youth Ignited: Why Community Advocacy Matters Now More Than Ever* and learn how youth with disabilities can help influence the future of disability awareness, inclusion, and opportunities in their communities.

In this interactive online training, youth, ages 14-26, will build leadership, communication, and networking skills that can support their advocacy journey—and look great on a résumé.

We're thrilled to share that Tennessee Senator Becky Massey will be joining us to talk about why youth voices matter in our communities and across Tennessee. Participants will also have a chance to ask questions about her role as a state senator and how youth advocates can help create positive change.

TNSTEP's Stephanie Willis will lead this fun and engaging training, hosted by Region B Parent Technical Assistance Center.

đź”´ TOMORROW!!!! Youth can still register for this free training!

Something curious is coming for youth with disabilities! Join TNSTEP for a 2-part virtual training series where we’ll solve a mystery, build self-advocacy skills, and explore real ways youth can use their voices to make a difference.

🔹 PART 1: STINKS TO BE SUE via Zoom
June 16, 2026

We’ll solve the mystery of Sue, a high school student whose plans for life after high school are being made without her input or needs in mind.
Sue has an IEP and a transition plan, but there’s a problem: the plan is not working well for Sue. Together, we’ll look for clues, uncover what went wrong, and learn how youth can take a more active role in planning for life after high school.
This training will cover:
• What a transition plan is and why it matters
• What went wrong with Sue’s plan
• How Sue can rework her plan to better align with her interests, passions, and needs
• Diploma options, supported decision-making, post-high school options, and helpful resources
• Ways youth can build confidence in speaking up for themselves
