Advocacy
At Mosaic, advocacy is a part of our mission. We advocate for and with people who have disabilities so they may choose appropriate supports, defend their rights and express their opinions. Mosaic advocates find their voices heard locally in their own communities, in statehouses across the land, and in several countries around the world. Mosaic's advocacy efforts include:
Broadening the capacity for advocacy at the local, state, national and international level.
Participating in numerous coalitions formed to affect public policy.
Networking with grassroots advocates to pass legislation affecting the lives of people who have disabilities.
Assisting other nonprofit organizations to develop and enhance their supports.
Increasing volunteer advocacy participation locally, nationally and globally.
The agencies of Mosaic in Indiana are active members of the Indiana Association of Rehabilitation Facilities (INARF). INARF is a statewide membership organization which provides leadership and support to its constituency in the development of resources and promotion of quality services to increase our members' ability to effectively serve the comprehensive needs of people with disabilities.
To achieve this goal, INARF maintains important relationships with governmental agencies responsible for Indiana's human service programs, promotes networking opportunities among members, coordinates quality professional development programs, and offers technical assistance to members.
