Integr8 Projects
Integr8 is made up of four different parts:
Intentional training – training for youth leaders, church volunteers and Christian workers how to think inclusively and ensure their activities are inclusive of children and young people of all abilities.
Integr8 youth zone website - providing free inspiration, ideas and resources to encourage churches and groups to continue moving forward on the journey of inclusion.
Influence – mentoring and discipleship opportunities for young disabled adults (ages 14 – 30) to learn from the wisdom and experience of mature disabled Christians.
International – opportunities for short-term mission trips to train and encourage local people in developing countries how to include disabled children in their school, church and community activities. These life-changing trips offer young disabled Christians; family members with personal experience of disability; and education and health professionals with experience of working with disabled children, the opportunity to spend nearly two weeks overseas.
