AccessCNY’s Access, Change, Empower (A.C.E.) Society was started with the belief that many small, kind acts can create a movement. The elite members of the A.C.E. Society commit to donating a small amount of money each month, knowing that their gifts will be amplified by others’.
Learn below how a donation of just $5 dollars a month can improve people’s lives.

Training for the Self-Advocates
AccessCNY encourages participants in all of our programs to advocate for themselves and ensure they are always being supported in pursuing their goals. The Self-Advocates are a group of participants that have taken a special interest in self-advocacy and spend time learning to be more effective advocates for themselves and others.
