Values Into Action PA was awarded the Authentic Friendships grant by the PA Developmental Disabilities Council in January 2023.
 We are calling this the "True Friendships Project" and believe that friendship is for everyone.
The True Friendships Project hopes to make it easier for people with disabilities to make and keep friends.Â
The True Friendships Project is focused on creating opportunity and capacity for friendships for all.
The True Friendships Project is led by Project Advisors and Self-Advocates, Robert Zotynia and Jamie Lisberger, as well as VIAPA's Certified Supports Broker and Participant Directed Service Liaison, Kristina (Tina) Steinbacher.
Robert, Jamie, and Tina lead our Project Advisory Workgroup (PAW).Â
Members of the PAW include people with disabilities, family members, and professionals in the disability community. The PAW is an important part of this project and helps to guide us.
We have also partnered with the following organizations on this project:
·  Open Future Learning,
·  PA Education for All Coalition (PEAC),
·  Disability Pride PA,
·  and the Institute on Disabilities at Temple University.
This project is funded by the PA Developmental Disabilities Council.
