Shattering Glass Ceilings Award

The Glass Ceiling is a metaphor for the invisible barrier that prevents some people from rising. It's a subtle but damaging form of discrimination, where you cannot take the opportunities you see in front of you – despite your suitability and your best efforts. The Shattering Glass Ceilings Award will be given to a teen with a physical, intellectual, or developmental disability that has taken the glass ceilings placed on those with disabilities and used it to insight change within their community.

SER Teen Chapter Buddy System

These awards are designed to increase camaraderie between the various chapters of the SER. This will happen by pairing chapters and encouraging the chapter pairs (Buddies) to host at least 1 event during the programming year, (in person or virtually). During the event(s) we encourage teens within the buddy pairs to exchange information and get to know each other.

1 event = Membership SERtified Chapter (chapters will receive a certificate)

2 or more events = VIP VP (VP’s will receive medals & merch box)
