Advocate

Advocacy on behalf of all Minnesotans with disabilities is part of the Courage Center mission. We address public policy issues by collaborating, advocating, educating, influencing change and creating awarness for understanding. Much of this work involves fostering relationships with more than 100 organizations dedicated to improving the lives of people with disabilities.

      Help Make a Difference

      Effecting change is not just about organizations. Our clients and the whole disability community drive real change by taking part in forums, registering to vote, or signing up for updates on issues such as health care, transportation and independent living. Become active in grassroots advocacy - it's a great way to make a difference.
