People Power of Howard County

The image shows the People Power of Howard County logo.People Power of Howard County

People Power is a self-advocacy group run by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who want to let everyone know who they are and how they feel about disability issues. People Power meets the THIRD Monday of the month from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., via Zoom:

  • The Zoom opens at 5:30 p.m. for a meet-and-greet session.
  • The speaker presentation begins at 6 p.m., followed by a question-and-answer session.
  • The meeting ends at 7 p.m.
  • Due to COVID-19, the meetings will be held virtually via Zoom. If The Arc of Howard County is closed due to inclement weather, People Power of Howard County will not meet.

People Power of Howard County is a proud partner of Empowering Partners. The Arc Maryland, in partnership with People On The Go Maryland and the Maryland Developmental Disabilities Council, launched Empowering Partners to raise awareness about the value of self-advocacy and to reconvene or strengthen self-advocacy groups throughout the state. Empowering Partners serves as the foundation for self-advocacy groups in Maryland, including People Power of Howard County. Self-advocacy groups share the Empowering Partners discussion topics, activities, and a unified movement to grow from and build on. For more information on Empowering Partners, please visit The Arc Maryland’s Empowering Partners website. For resources in Howard County, visit the Resources for People Supported by The Arc of Howard County page on this website.
