Are you 16 – 25 years old?

Do you have a disability and live in Victoria?

Would you like to plan for your future and practice speaking up for what YOU want?

If so, you should think about joining Map Your Future!

Map Your Future is a free program from the Youth Disability Advocacy Service (YDAS) designed to help you figure out what your goals are and learn new skills to achieve them!

YDAS

The Youth Disability Advocacy Service (YDAS) is an advocacy organisation that works with disabled young people aged 12 to 25.

We work with disabled young people in Victoria to make sure you can speak up and are being treated fairly. You can access our free advocacy service if you need advice or support.

We run programs so that you can learn to speak up for yourself and others. We talk with disabled young people about what matters most to you. We then help the government and other organisations understand those issues so they can treat disabled young people fairly.

YDAS is a core agency of Youth Affairs Council Victoria (YACVic). YDAS was established in 2006 and is funded by the Victorian Government.
