Disability Achievement Center Hosts virtual friendship stop with the Journey of hope cyclists
on 
It was another tremendous visit with the cyclists traveling from California to Washington, DC to raise awareness for and bring joy to people with disabilities! For the past 7 years, we have enjoyed The Ability Experience Gear Up Florida Friendship Visits as the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity brothers cycle from Miami to Tallahassee. With the pandemic this year, the cyclists are making their ride virtually. With this, Disability Achievement Center was able to join with the cross country team for a dance party yesterday afternoon. The guys brought their A Game with all kinds of props to make it fun! I’ve never seen a flamingo double as an air guitar before! Thank you to The Ability Experience for a refreshing afternoon and thanks to all who joined in!
NCIL Youth Scholarship application deadline extended
on 
Youth Scholarship Application Deadline Extended to July 10th!
NCIL is re-opening our youth scholarship application for a few more days!
NCIL’s youth scholarships are given to youth with disabilities aged 26 and under to cover the costs of attending the annual NCIL conference. Since the conference will be virtual this year, all scholarships will be $90 to cover a youth’s registration fee for the conference. Dozens of youth have received scholarships to NCIL’s conference over the years, and many credit the scholarship with launching their advocacy work within NCIL’s committees and caucuses or through other organizations.
We are particularly seeking applicants for the Emet Tauber Youth Scholarship. Named in memory of former NCIL board member Emet Tauber, the Emet Tauber Youth Scholarship is given every year to one or more youth with disabilities under aged 26 who are trans and/or Jewish. Emet took great joy in living at the intersection of those three identities, and the ideal Emet Tauber scholarship recipient will embody this spirit. To apply for a youth scholarship, fill out the youth scholarship application by July 10, 2020. To be considered for the Emet Tauber Youth Scholarship, check the box under “I would like to be considered for the Emet Tauber Youth Scholarship” and answer the questions that follow. If you have any questions or concerns, please email Cara Liebowitz at cara@ncil.org.
