Youth Co-Design Group
Women with Disabilities Victoria (WDV) is starting a group to help us learn how we can support people to be better leaders.
Since 2013, WDV has been running the Enabling Women Leadership Program. The Program empowers women with disabilities to speak up and have a voice about issues that relate to them, and other women with disabilities. The Program builds on, and expands the knowledge, skills, tools, and networks of women with disabilities, so they are confident to take on advocacy and leadership roles within their communities.
Three of the Enabling Women Programs that have been run, have been youth specific, for girls/women aged 15-25. And whilst great things have come from the Programs, WDV recognises that the existing Program may need to be updated. Or, that there may be other ways to better support youth with disabilities to develop their leadership potential. To help determine what this may look like, WDV is developing a Youth Project Co-Design Group (YPCG). The Group will run from April – August 2021.
