Discover what’s possible when you lean into curiosity.
Do you feel trapped in your daily routine and want to feel inspired again? Do you think there's something more you're meant to be doing in the world for the autistic community? Are you a self-advocate or professional looking to develop as a leader, build confidence in your own abilities, and help others do the same?
If so, you’ll want to listen to this episode because our SkillCorps® volunteers share how they reconnected with their passion in the field from going on their trip to Kenya.
Just a recap, in case you missed part 1 from last week, SkillCorps® is carefully curated 10-day journey includes developing culturally-relevant and sustainable training with our partner staff, listening to local Autistic Self-Advocates and family members to learn about their lived experiences, sharing meals with community members to brainstorm ideas and solutions, and executing a high-impact project to build on existing work being done in the country.
Last October, we sent a SkillCorps® team to visit our partners at Kaizora in Nairobi, Kenya. In part 2 of this special SkillCorps® Journey episode, you’ll hear Team Kenya talk about:
Personal growth
Professional development in the field of autism services
How traveling with the Global Autism Project inspired the team to create change in their own communities
Tips for future SkillCorps® travelers
As you probably know if you follow our work closely, we’re also sending teams out in the field this July, and we’re currently taking SkillCorps® applications for travel in October!
