Legislative Intern Project
Participants learn how government works, how laws are made, and how to have a voice in public policy. The class travels to Springfield to observe the legislative process and speak to their legislators, and also attends the annual Disability Rights Conference. Participants learn self-advocacy and leadership skills. There are two groups of Legislative Interns, one for adults with disabilities and one for youth with disabilities age 14 to 21.

If you are a minority and/or live in DeWitt, Ford, Livingston, or rural McLean County, you will have priority to enroll in this program. All travel expenses for the trips to Springfield are paid, and we can also provide assistance for travel to classes if you live outside Bloomington-Normal. This program is funded by the Department of Human Services, Office of Rehabilitation Services. For more information call Jill Doran or
