100 Women of Phoenixville

Thank you, 100 Women of Phoenixville!

The mission of Citizen Advocacy of Chester County is to initiate and support a variety of intentional relationships that provide advocacy for opportunity, protection from harm, sponsorship into community life, friendship, and justice for isolated people living with a disability.

Citizen Advocacy is built upon a belief in the power and competence of the ordinary citizen to care for and connect to others and to make a lifelong commitment to stand by, stand for and stand with another person, through good times as well as challenging ones.

For over 40 years, guided by a set of principles, the purpose of Citizen Advocacy of Chester County has been to bring people who would not ordinarily meet into a relationship with one another. We ask them to spend time together and build trust so that protection, opportunity and action can grow. The impact? A person once isolated now has friends, community life, or even family. The stories are all as unique as the two people in them – and life changing for both.
