This spring, CIF partner JJ's List celebrated it's first birthday! JJsList.com is a consumer review website focused on discussing the disability awareness of North Shore businesses. Additionally, JJ's List offers workshops covering self-advocacy and technology skills as well as trainings delivered to businesses to develop their disability-aware service.
One such workshop is the upcoming Social Networking Seminar offered by JJ's List at the Northbrook Public Library. The event will take place on June 22nd and 23rd from 6:30-8:30 each night. Topics to be covered include pro-active Internet safety, Internet coaching, hands-on experience with Facebook, and hands on self-advocacy with JJ’s List. Space is limited; for more information or to register contact JJ at info@jjslist.com or 847-702-4098.
In the last year, more than 10,000 visitors have checked out www.jjslist.com and learned about disability consumerism and community integration of people with disabilities. Nearly 600 reviews have been written by users and posted to the site. Hundreds of businesses have raised their interest in disability awareness and signed up as Bridge Builders in the Disability Awareness Directory.
Much of this growth is thanks to the tireless work done by JJ's List's corps of dedicated and diverse volunteers. Interested in knowing how you can help? Contact JJ@JJsList.com.
Happy First Birthday JJ's List!
