Personal connections change hearts and minds

By inviting an individual with a disability, to speak about living a full life, students gain new insights. With a diversity of vision, hearing and mobility disabilities, the Rick Hansen Foundation Ambassadors create connection and challenge stereotypes. These energetic and engaging individuals share themes such as kindness, perseverance and resilience by virtually interacting with your students through the use of video conferencing technology.

All presentation costs are covered thanks to the support of the RHF School Program Co-Presenting Partners and generous supporters.

Educators are Impressed
