Green Mountain Self-Advocates supports more than 20 local self-advocacy groups in Vermont. This handbook is the basic guide we give to all local self-advocacy groups to help them start and run their groups. The handbook outlines best practices for how to organize your own self-advocacy group. It includes information about how to:

• Run meetings
• Problem-solve
• Set goals
• Pick officers
• Find an advisor
• Fundraise
• Include support staff in group activities

This tool is a great resource to help self-advocates form their own groups and be organized and successful.
