The Charles and Mabel Williams Fund of the Minneapolis Foundation recently approved a $4,075 grant for a project in the Institute on Community Integration. The project, titled "My Voice, My Vote," will bring together University, community, and government resources to motivate and teach young adults with disabilities about civic engagement and voting. The project will (a) provide a workshop to adults with disabilities specifically focused on civic engagement and voting, (b) develop and compile free downloadable materials from University and other public sources for teachers, program leaders, and individuals, and (c) make video and audio recordings of the workshop, and develop a brief video which will be made available on YouTube. Individuals with disabilities will be involved in planning the workshop and creating the video.
