Subject: Call for student involvement in an ARCA sponsored program

Hi-

Hope all is well. I am contacting you once more to share information about an ARCA sponsored program. One of ARCA's goals is to assist in the professional development of rehabilitation counselors. As advocacy work is an essential component of one's professional identity, the American Rehabilitation Counseling Association (ARCA) is very interested in engaging students and contributing to their development as rehabilitation counselors. Accordingly, we have developed a program that we call Understanding Rehabilitation Counseling as a way of encouraging students to learn more about their chosen profession by becoming involved in their local community through a rehabilitation or disability-related project. Therefore, this program is a great opportunity for students to do the following: 1) apply what they have learned, 2) learn more about current issues/needs first-hand, 3) develop new skills through collaborative community service, 4) share their advocacy experience with the rehabilitation counseling community through an ARCA event at the 2017 ACA conference, receive a certificate award, and a feature in ARCA's Spring newsletter.

*Selected RCT programs will receive a reimbursement to cover up to $800 of the conference expenses for their student representative(s) to attend the ACA conference in San Francisco, March 16-19, 2017. For more information please see attachment.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could share this awesome opportunity with your students. Thanks in advance!

Best,
Taryn
