STAND SOCIAL CONNECT
Want to expand your social circle? Stand Social Connect is an event where guests have the opportunity to engage in brief 1-on-1 conversations with other guests who are looking to expand their social circle (from a safe distance of course)!
WORRIED ABOUT WHAT TO SAY?
Leave that to us! Your event host will provide you with conversation starters in case you get stuck & keep the conversation flowing.
TAKE NOTES
Throughout the event, guests make notes about who they want to share their information with.
Keep an open mind-- you never know who you'll click with!
YOU JUST MADE A NEW FRIEND!
After the event the event host will provide contact information to the guests that made mutual connections!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Approximately 1.1 billion of the world's population is living with a disability.
Adults with disabilities are paid less than average, with some making as little as $19,200 per year.
Of adults living alone, 6 in 10 live in poverty.
WHO WE ARE
We are Stand Social, a non-profit organization focused on empowering people with disabilities to get social and start living their best life.
We know that sometimes all it takes to change the world is a little support. We came together because we're determined to make an impact for people with disabilities.
The core of our efforts is to bring our fresh ideas and passion to a range of activities that support adults with developmental disabilities. Our experience in social work and behavioural analysis paired with our passion for diversity, inclusion, and living life to the fullest call us to take a stand to help people with disabilities take their stand!
