Have you been wondering how to connect with the Our Voices Matter Council to collaborate in advocacy or seek general guidance and input from people who use Karis services? Together with Our Voices Matter Council members, the Engaging Everybody Steering Committee has created useful resources for Karis leaders to do just that! The guidelines for connecting with OVM Council can be found on CH Connect by clicking About Us, and then Engaging with Our Voices Matter under Organizational Culture.
Embedding co-design into our work and coming alongside self-advocates in advocacy is a major focus of our operating plan. Continuing this work together is key to fulfilling our vision, that people with disabilities belong to communities in which their God-given gifts are valued and celebrated!
