Education and Advocacy for All
DARIUS
Becoming an advocate
Darius was enrolled at Salem High School. With his disability, his case worker only pushed him into simple jobs that would not gain him independence. They did not see much more for his future. I saw more potential in him and insisted that they enroll him into the construction course at the vocational center. This is where he learned masonry. After acting on his behalf, I feel that I have learned how to better help and advocate for other students. It is my passion to unlock doors to their potential and give them a much more equitable opportunity.
