Attention Self-Advocate Net is an on-line community for the voice of Self Advocate leaders across BC.

It is a place to have a voice, break down stereotypes and encourage positive change in our communities.

Self Advocate Net publishes up to four stories a month. We pay $100 for each story published.

For 2025 we are looking for positive stories of success. These stories encourage others and is an awesome way for you to celebrate your achievements.

Stories may be written about:

• Employment success, including self-employment
• Giving back to your community through volunteering, acts of kindness, supporting others and more
• Personal goals achieved
• How you advocated and succeeded in accessibility challenges in the community (transportation, building access, dispelling stereotypes etc.)
• Leadership
• Learning new things (school, hobbies, cooking, transportation etc.)

Please keep it under 350 words, include a photo, do not name others, instead say friend, support staff, sister etc.

It does take time to review so please be patient.

Stories submissions are reviewed once a month.

If your story idea is approved for publication, we will email you. Please send a photo to go with your story.
