New England Yachad is participating in a leadership and advocacy program called Link20. Link20 is a global social movement led by a network of young activists, with and without disabilities. Our goals are to raise awareness on the right of people with disabilities to be fully included in our society and to strengthen young activists’ leadership skills and influence in promoting inclusion and social justice. We are looking to expand our fall cohort, which meets 2-3 times per month on Wednesday nights. We will be working on a brand new project this Spring!
We will meet on Wednesdays from 6:00 - 8:00 PM, at the Yachad Community Center at 384 Harvard Street, Brookline, MA.
