We put in $46,000, the General Assembly allocates $20,000, the ICC sponsors a parent of a young child at $1500. Our program runs from February - September with a graduation in September. Each weekend session runs from 1:00 on Friday to 4:00 on Saturday with time to sleep, of course. There is homework for each session and a major project due in September. The projects that have come from this work over the years have resulted in major systems change in DE. The time is well spent!

The cost to our CT DD Council is $60,000. Other costs are picked up by the UCEDD and the Office of Protection and Advocacy. We hold seven sessions and each session is 16 hours for a total of 112 hours. They also do homework and a project, so the total number of hours invested by the participants may vary.

Subject: States' Partners in Policymaking & Juniors Partners ProgramsDear DDC Executive Directors & Colleagues:
Good afternoon, hope all is well. In preparation of developing our new 5 Year State Plan, the DDC members are re-evaluating our Partners-in-Policymaking program, known as the DC Advocacy Partners program: http://www.dcpartners.iel.org/.
The DDC members have questions about other states’ Partners-in-Policymaking program. Specifically:
· What are the approximate costs to your DDC to implement and conduct the program in your state?
· What are the number of monthly sessions provided through your Partners-in-Policymaking program?
· How many total numbers of hours do the participants spend in those monthly sessions by the end of the program?
If your DDC implements a Junior Partners-in-Policymaking program:
a. What are the approximate costs for the program?
b. How many days and total hours do the young adults and students participate in the program?
Thanks so much for your assistance. I greatly appreciate it, and I look forward to hearing from you. May you and your family experience all the happiness and peace during the holiday season.
Best wishes, Mat
