Introduction to Alliance for Inclusion Advancement-Hawai‘i (AIA-HI) Toolkit
In August 2008, representatives of the AIA-HI LINCs (Local Inclusion Network Collaboratives—defined in the Toolkit) met to discuss methods to sustain LINC projects after AIA-HI’s conclusion in September 2008. Development of the Toolkit was suggested and recommended for approval at this meeting.
The goal of the Toolkit is to share helpful information with organizations and individuals interested in working with people with disabilities as volunteers in community service. The Toolkit shares Tools AIA-HI used to facilitate its capacity-building mission to enhance volunteer opportunities for individuals with disabilities, age 14 and older.
At this site, three Toolkit files are available. They are:
- A PDF version of the entire Toolkit
- A Word document of the Toolkit, with the exception of the “Paying It Forward” Newsletter, which was developed in PDF format
- The PDF file of the “Paying It Forward” Newsletter
Feel free to use and share all materials, with appropriate credit. Also note there is a Feedback Form at the end of the Toolkit. Comments are welcomed and encouraged.
Our hope is this Toolkit will serve as a guide for the Hawai‘i LINCs as they continue their community endeavors, and for other programs and organizations interested in developing sustainable service inclusion activities, capacity building efforts towards disability inclusion, and in creating a welcoming environment for everyone.
