Three of the state's leading advocacy organizations have joined forces with Duluth agencies who work with people with disabilities, to offer a hands-on workshop providing guidance and a greater understanding of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The workshop will include:
- Civic Engagement: how to get involved in your community and communicate effectively with agencies and businesses.
- Understanding Your Rights Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title III and barrier removal law.
