Upcoming DATE Trainings  
The Disability Advocacy Training Exchange (DATE) program was created by Disability Rights NC to train volunteers across the state to support the self-advocacy efforts of people with disabilities and their families. All volunteers must complete a two-part training. The training includes tips on how to be an effective self-advocate and how to support the self-advocacy efforts of people with disabilities. Previous participants in DATE trainings have said: "Great training! I feel better prepared to advocate for myself and looking forward to helping people with disabilities advocate for themselves." "I consider myself a strong self-advocate and I still learned a lot of new things in this training." **Note that each training is two parts -- you must attend both evenings of the training.** GreenvilleDue to low registration response, the Greenville DATE training has been postponed until this Fall. Contact Gabby Martino at gabrielle.martino@disabilityrightsnc.org or 919-856-2195 for information about the DATE trainings.
