Goals
Since 1987, Partners programs have been implemented nationally and internationally. Thousands of Partners graduates are part of a growing national and international network of community leaders serving on policy making committees, commissions, boards, and in elected office at all levels of government. The Partners movement is also available to thousands of others through free online self-advocacy courses in areas such as: inclusive education; obtaining meaningful employment; accessing high quality community living arrangements
Through the combination of both on-site training and a vast array of internet-based training resources, Partners in Policymaking is intended to assist people with disabilities to know their rights, to know what to expect in terms of high quality services and supports, and to know how to obtain such services and supports within their local communities.

“Despicable means used to achieve laudable goals renders the goals themselves despicable.”
