Volunteering with CPD is a great way to share your skills, connect with others, and support accessibility and inclusion. If you have a disability, know someone who does, or simply want to be part of meaningful change, your voice and efforts matter.

No experience? No problem. We provide training in communication, self-advocacy, and leadership.
