“Being a leader is knowing when to step up and lead, and when to step back and make space for others. It means you sometimes have to do things even though you feel afraid and not ready.”
–Shameka Andrews
We love our community
The New York City-Westchester Region of SANYS encompasses the 5 boroughs of NYC and Westchester County, making our region the most populous region within New York State! We are very special because our area includes the Willowbrook Campus, where Bernard Carabello first conceived the idea for a self-advocacy movement.
