HCBS Gather for Change Learning and Advocacy Team

The HCBS Gather for Change Learning and Advocacy Team has provided opportunities to develop advocacy and team-building skills including ways to talk with policy makers about Home and Community Based Services, to:

  • People with lived disability experience
  • Self-advocates with an intellectual or developmental disability or Autism
  • Pennsylvania residents with a disability who use waiver services to live the life they want to live
  • People who enjoy teamwork and learning new advocacy skills
  • People interested in talking to policy makers about why HCBS is important
