Community Leadership Solutions
(CLS)
CLS
is an investment in Oklahoma citizenship, personal empowerment,
and community advocacy! Community Leadership Solutions offers
a series of workshops
that can help issue advocates turn up the volume on the chorus
of family and self-advocate voices. The workshops connect participants
to useful information from the service sector, business, education,
and advocacy networks.
Are
You Interested in Improving Our State?
Community
Leadership Solutions may be just what you are looking for to enhance
your skills as a citizen, advocate, and family member.
Many Oklahoma agencies are re-committing themselves to building
community-based services that are helpful and respectful of individual
customers and family needs. Self-advocates and family members
have a crucial role in planning and decision-making about services
and supports needed for community living. Issue advocates with
personal, professional, and volunteer experience are needed to
work side-by-side with leaders in the service and business community.
