Providing protection and advocacy to people who have developmental disability labels by initiating and supporting one-to-one voluntary Citizen Advocacy relationships.

Citizen Advocacy:

"It's a simple system that somehow works,

almost too simple to attract a lot of attention.

But it has changed lives. In a society where

people who are poor, impaired, or powerless

are oppressed by systems they haven't helped to create, they need more than a friend. They

need someone . . . who will walk with them."
