Join The Community

Community of Champions is an advocacy program funded by the Arkansas Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities. Our mission is to develop every Arkansan into an advocate for themselves or their peers. We envision communities full of champions, advocating for individuals with developmental disabilities. Community of Champions strives to educate, inspire, and empower peer advocates, self-advocates, and state leaders to understand the importance behind advocacy and how it brings our communities closer together, growing our state to its maximum potential.
