The “For a Change” Program Encouraging Volunteerism by Youth with Disabilities
The “For a Change” program was born of the belief that young people with disabilities are capable of volunteering and deserve the chance to contribute and influence the community in the same way as every other young person.
Israel Elwyn intends to apply the knowledge gained from the program’s development and activities in every school attended by students with disabilities.
Zero Project Award
In 2019, “For a Change” received the Essel Foundation’s Zero Project Award. Each year, the Zero Project locates the most outstanding programs throughout the world in the field of people with disabilities.
