The Students with Disabilities Advocacy Group (SDAG) is an upcoming grassroots, peer support-based nonprofit for disabled students.
By donating to our campaign, you will support our current advocacy efforts at our home campus (Georgia Southern University)! Your donation will also help us as we start expanding to other universities as well.
SDAG has a primary goal to offer a safe haven and community for disabled students. We welcome and support students and community members with all kinds of disabilities, including physical, invisible, and learning disabilities. We work to support those with neurodivergent conditions and mental illnesses, seeing as these can often be disabling. Our secondary goal is educating and advocating for disabilities, neurodivergent conditions, and mental illnesses.
We are filling gaps for disabled students trying to navigate higher education, which is wrought with barriers and unwritten rules. We do this through community building and open conversations surrounding disability issues. This often looks like more informal gatherings like community events and group dinners. This is also done through our “Disabilities After Dark” events which are discussion-based, previous topics have included chronic pain and the intersection of disability and LGBTQ+ pride.
