Individuals in Dale Rogers Training Center’s (DRTC) programs are active advocates for the agency. Whether it is by attending United Way Campaign Kick Off events, going to the Capitol for Developmental Disabilities Awareness Day, or just by spreading the word about the work being done at the agency, what better spokespeople to have than these!
There are plenty of opportunities to be advocatesâwhen out on field trips with Camp Tumbleweed, at volunteer sites with Mobile Workforce, visiting work site locations with Transitions and beyond!
One outstanding advocate is Chrisâwho participates in DRTCâs Mobile Workforce. Chris was an outspoken supporter of DRTC at this yearâs Developmental Disabilities Awareness Day, speaking with Oklahomaâs lawmakers about the importance of DRTC. He even invited them to come take a tour of our campus! He did such an amazing job, we made him an Honorary Public Relations Representative!
Itâs easy being an advocate:
- Tell everyone you know about DRTC and the positive impact itâs making in our community
- Let us know who could benefit from our services with our Advocate Edition
- Interact with us on our social media accounts (and share our content so all your family and friends can see)
DRTCâs presence at various events and in the public in general sends a strong message to those in the community: Weâre Oklahomans. We work. We contribute. We give back.
