MNSILC Seeking Youth Submissions

Minnesota Statewide Independent Living Council (MNSILC) is seeking submissions of creative works from youth around the state of Minnesota for their Fall Conference. They are interested in what our youth have to say and they want to hear from them as they strive to create a more independent living environment for individuals living with disabilities. Independent living is having opportunities to make decisions that affect one's life, the ability to pursue activities of one's own choosing - limited only in the same ways that one's nondisabled neighbors are limited.

The Details

  • What – MNSILC is looking for creative works from MN youth.
  • Theme – How can we change the world to make it a better place for people living with disabilities?
  • Reward – All works will be displayed at their Fall Conference as space allows. Selected winners will be published on MNSILC platforms and featured in some of their publications.
  • Who – Minnesota youth up to age 24
  • When – All submissions are due by June 30, 2022.
  • Where to send – Digital submission can be emailed to mnsilc1215@gmail.com and physical submissions can be mailed to MNSILC, 13189 Gladiola Way, Apple Valley, MN 55124.
  • How are winners determined – Representatives of the MNSILC will make the final choices.

What is a creative work?

  • A story
  • A poem
  • An article
  • A photograph
  • A painting, drawing
  • Music or a song
  • A video

COVID-19 Vaccination Survey

Your Experience in COVID-19 Vaccination is Needed! 

The Center for Health Equity (CHE) at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community at Indiana University would like to know about your thoughts and experiences with the COVID-19 vaccines. CHE is doing an online survey about perceptions and experiences of COVID-19 vaccination among people with disabilities and their caregivers. If you are interested in participating, complete the anonymous survey using this link: https://go.iu.edu/4liW

You can take the survey if you are 18 years or older; a person with a disability, or a family caregiver or a paid caregiver for a person with a disability; and you live in one of the following states: Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete.

The survey participation is voluntary. The survey will not ask for participant’s name or other directly identifiable information, and their responses will be kept confidential. The responses will be released only as part of a group summary in which no individuals’ answers can be identified.

If you have questions, please contact Don Dumayas at (812) 855-2894 or ddumayas@indiana.edu.

This study has been approved by the Indiana University Human Subjects Office (#14316 Perceptions and Experiences of COVID-19 Vaccination among People with Disabilities and Their Caregivers in FEMA Region 5). For questions about your rights as a research participant, to discuss problems, complaints, or concerns about a research study, or to obtain information or to offer input, please contact the IU Human Research Protection Program office at 800-696-2949 or at irb@iu.edu.
