Are You Ready to be Empowered?

Hey Friends!

You're invited to Mapping Your Future, Able South Carolina's annual transition conference for young adults with disabilities and their families. Please join us on Saturday, March 16 at the Columbia Convention Center for this FREE event!

As you prepare for what's next in your journey, you may have questions. We know navigating this process can be hard, but Mapping Your Future is here to make it as easy as possible. Mapping Your Future isn't your regular, stuffy conference—it's an opportunity for you to learn from your peers who have recently completed this process.

Join us and create a plan for transitioning into employment or higher education, learn more about your options for independent living, and connect with service providers in your community who are here to support you every step of the way! Youth with disabilities and up to two family members are encouraged to attend the conference together. While youth with disabilities are learning how they can take charge of their own lives, parents and family members will learn how to support them in separate breakout sessions.

To learn more and register for this free event, visit www.able-sc.org/MYF.

We hope to see you on March 16!

 Is Meeting a Celeb on Your Bucket List?

 Cross it off at Mapping Your Future where you'll have the opportunity to meet LeDerick Horne! LeDerick is so much more than a dynamic spoken-word poet and motivational speaker, he's also a tireless advocate for all people with disabilities and a bridge-builder between learners and leaders.

LeDerick uses his gift for spoken-word poetry as the gateway to larger discussions on equal opportunity, pride, self-determination, and hope for people with disabilities. This emotionally stirring talk is filled with moving verses and empowering information that will prepare YOU to challenge stereotypes and improve the lives of people with disabilities.
