Youth receive first-hand experience working in an office setting and often work on youth-driven advocacy campaigns, such as the Disability History Week Campaign and Taking Action for Accommodations. The YO! Volunteer Corps create connections for youth with adults with disabilities, as well as other youth volunteers. YO! Volunteer Corps members earn a stipend every month.

Hi, my name is Alexa McBride! I've been a part of YO! Disabled and Proud for five years. I went to Sacramento State University and got my BA in Child Development in 2014. I currently work at Luther Burbank High school as an afterschool team leader. I am very excited to be a part of the Youth Action Council.
