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.
