True leaders empower others; advocates empower parents; parents empower students; and students empower one another to be leaders. It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes all of us working together to create the best communities where we all live, love and work together. Treva and Jenny are parents of adult children with disabilities who graduated high school with general education diplomas, employees of disability organizations, and parent leaders in a newly formed local organization where the goal is to empower the next generation. Treva's a certified mediator, and Jenny's an extraordinary interpreter. Together, they make a team that leads the way for advocates, families and thus students. Come, join in their Community Cafe where we hold hands and work through issues together.
