How to Get involved

 

Come to a Meeting

We hold various meetings over Zoom to connect and talk about what’s going on in our region. Some meetings are more general while others focus on specific issues.

Join a Group

MASS works with Legislative Groups, Civil Groups, and Self-Advocacy Groups, amongst others. Our members participate and then talk to the regional groups about their work.

Start Your Own Group

Don’t see what you’re looking for? Interested in a group but it’s not in your region? Tell us what you’d like to do and we’ll help you get your own group started today!

Get in Touch

If you’re not sure what you’d like to do or how you’d like to get involved, get in touch and we’ll work with you. We have a diverse group of members and we’ll help you find your place.

 

Topics

 

Because we operate across the state and have a diverse group of members, MASS covers many different topics. If you would like to learn more, get involved, or talk about a topic that isn’t listed, get in touch and we’ll help you get started!
