An Active All-Volunteer Support Group . . .
Welcome to VA Voices in Action, a support group for parents of
children, youth and adults with disabilities and their families. We are
a strictly volunteer organization based in Central Virginia and
coordinated by Norma Draper of Hopewell, Virginia.
Become An Advocate For People With Disabilities. . .
Please
email Norma Draper
for more
information about our meetings or if you are interested in joining our
disability support group. Our goals are to advocate, educate,
encourage, empower and support parents of children and adults with
disabilities. To advocate and
support positive change in the community for children, youth or adults
with disabilities. Through our monthly meetings and fun social events
planned throughout the year we will share information, ideas and
resources in a continuing effort to form new and lasting friendships and
help relieve the loneliness often associated with caring for people with
disabilities.
Our Support Group Goals . . .
Norma
Draper, coordinator for Virginia Voices in Action, is a graduate of Virginia Partners in Policymaking Class 0f 2002-2003. She has
recently been appointed by the Governor of Virginia to The Virginia
Board For People With Disabilities. VA Voices in Action is a result
of her participation in Partners in Policymaking and the leadership
training through The Virginia Board for People with Disabilities. She is
also the personal guardian for her grandson Justin who has a disability.
Her love and commitment to Justin and other children and adults with
disabilities were her inspiration for coordinating Virginia Voices in
Action. (VIA) Her goals for the support group are to reach as many
people as possible in her area and throughout Virginia with her passion
to help and advocate for people with disabilities. To form lasting
friendships with people who have similar goals and enrich the lives of
people with disabilities and their families through education and
advocacy.
