We are currently seeking applicants from New Hampshire and Maine for the 2025-26 academic year. We look to you, our LEND alums and partners who share the vision of LEND, to help spread the word that our application process is open.
- Do you work with an educator, social worker, or health care professional who is ready to expand their professional perspective and advance their knowledge around disability?
- Do you know a parent who advocates not only for their child, but for the needs of all children, and is ready to further their education to improve the system of care?
- Do you work with an emerging public policy leader who may benefit from the LEND experience and is ready to share their vision and talents to our interdisciplinary cohort?
- Do you know a disability advocate who is ready to take the next step in their leadership journey?
If you do, we ask you to reach out to that individual and share the link to NH-ME LEND so they may learn more about the opportunity to join us. Our next cohort begins September 2025 for 300 hours of training related to interprofessional, family-centered, and culturally competent systems of care for children and youth with developmental disabilities and their families. Alumni, please share how LEND enhanced your vision and professional path.
Competitive scholarships are available to qualified applicants with funding provided by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau.
