Expression of interest

From starting school or a first job to taking part in a new hobby, life is full of big changes.

CYDA’s new project, Take Charge of Change, is all about supporting our community to meet those key moments with confidence. But we need your input.

We are looking for 40 young people with disability, parents, and caregivers to co-design practical resources for their peers. You can apply for the one of four co-design groups:

  • Parents and caregivers of children with disability aged 0 – 7
  • Parents and caregivers of children with disability aged 0 – 12
  • Young people with disability aged 13 – 17
  • Young people with disability aged 18 – 25

The resources you create together will equip disabled young people and families with the tools and knowledge to thrive. They will also help providers make their services more accessible and inclusive for all.

If you would like to join CYDA’s co-design team, please let us know by filling in the form below. 

Expressions of interest close Monday, 27 January 2025.
