Description

The Sibling Ambassadors Program is a new leadership training program developed for adult siblings of people with disabilities to build the sibling network in states and become SibAmbassadors in their region. This is a program model that has been piloted in Pennsylvania and can be implemented in other states to increase sibling engagement, advocacy and leadership.
