Advocacy

An “Advocate” is a person who publicly supports or recommends a particular cause or policy. LiveAbility is a powerful ally in the  fight for equal access and advocates for the self-sufficiency of all Mountaineers living with any type of disability.

LiveAbility understands the needs of of West Virginians struggling for access, equality, fair treatment.  We engage in the public discourse as a voice for Mountaineers living with a disability, and empower these individuals to speak for themselves. If you or someone you love needs help finding or amplifying their voice to speak out for access and equality, contact our Advocacy Specialist today!
