Advocacy Team
Dignity and respect are paramount at EF. Learning to advocate for dignity and respect for themselves is an important practice for our members.
The Be Exceptional Advocacy Team is available to visit groups and classrooms of all ages (including college) to talk about what it means to have a disability, what it doesn’t mean to have a disability, things they wish that people knew about those with disabilities, and they can share their own interests, talents, and experiences as well.
Joe on the Go
EF’s mobile coffee cart, Joe on the Go, is staffed with our Exceptionally charming members.
Joe on the Go can come to your office, employee event, festival, party, and more to serve coffee, hot chocolate, and pastries. We guarantee service with an extra dose of kindness and love, after, that is one of our superpowers.
