Members of Youth Voice One Vision (YVOV) participated in disability awareness activities on May 25, 2010 at the Danforth Community Center in Rochester. The youths had the opportunity to navigate a wheelchair obstacle course, try out adaptive equipment, and participate in exercises designed to increase their understanding of what it is like to live with a disability.   Colleen Brown, Public Education Coordinator, and Joe Goyos, Coordinator of The Family School Partnership at The Advocacy Center, worked in collaboration with the staff at YVOV to organize the event.
