These events are designed to introduce new members, partners, and supporters to I.Lead, while highlighting the impact, leadership, and advocacy driven by disabled young people in our communities.

This event will provide disabled youth the opportunity to become part of the largest disability youth movement in Aotearoa New Zealand! 

There will be kai provided, along with a fun, interactive session crafted around the needs of rangatahi whaikaha in your region. 

These events are great for disabled youth (aged 16-30) to: 

  • connect with other disabled youth

  • learn about leadership opportunities

  • share ideas for improving accessibility in their communities
