This interactive session helps individuals with Down syndrome build confidence and skills to share their stories and values when speaking with lawmakers and community leaders. Participants will explore what matters most to them, learn how their personal experiences can shape policy, and practice clear, powerful ways to communicate their messages. Through discussion, role-play, and real-world examples, attendees will discover the impact of their lived experience and gain practical tools to advocate for themselves and others. “Skills for the Hill” encourages each participant to see themselves as a changemaker whose voice and story can make a difference. The workshop will also include a mini headshot clinic provided by Beauty Has No Limits and HumanKind Casting + Talent; each participant will have digital access to their professional headshot after the conference!
