Did you know FREE training is available to grassroots groups or organizations wanting to improve their projects or advocacy efforts? The Resource Center for Disability Advocates (RCDA) is designed specifically for grassroots groups and grassroots organizations that need help with getting their group or organization the training or consultation needed for their advocates to advocate for themselves. Funded by the PA Developmental Disabilities Council (PA DDC) and administered by the Center for Independent Living of Central PA (CILCP) this program is too valuable to pass up, because it is FREE, BUT time is running out and we only have room for a limited amount of groups or organizations. There are no hidden costs to you. Call 1-800-323-6060 and ask for John Tassone, RCDA Coordinator, to get more details and to take advantage of this great opportunity.
