Boltwood Student Civic Engagement Project
Sue is proud to report that she will again be serving as a Community Partner with the Boltwood Project at UMass Amherst. The Boltwood project is a student run civic engagement and leadership program that provides enrichment and socialization for adults and children of intellectual or physical diverse ability. Through a deepened understanding of the challenges they face, students in the program also develop strategies to oppose ableism and promote equality and inclusion. With social distancing guidelines in place, many students will be focusing on advocacy and legislative change, which will be the focus of the collaboration.
