Participate in Our Sticker Contest!
We are excited to announce a sticker design contest for our 2025 Advocacy Campaign “Adventure Awaits!” Participants, staff, and our community are encouraged to submit their designs by December 31.
Here are the rules:
- Size of design: Must be a minimum of 5WX5H inches.
- Theme: Our theme is “Adventure Awaits.” Your design should be related to either starting, achieving, or celebrating your own personal ‘adventure.’ It can be as abstract or literal as the artist would like.
- Colors: Orange and dark blue (can include other colors).
We will be selecting the winners based on the following criteria:
- 50%: How well does it represent the theme of “adventure awaits!”
- 25%: Clarity of the image
- 25%: Color usage
All designs must be appropriate for the workplace. The winner’s design will be printed on a sticker and distributed at all Easterseals NJ advocacy events in 2025.
We are looking forward to receiving your designs! The winner will be picked at the beginning of 2025.
All submissions or questions should be sent to advocacy@nj.easterseals.com.
Employment Success!
Easterseals NJ recently connected with Paul Davis Restoration at a Chamber of Commerce Networking Event, forging a partnership to provide hands-on learning for students in our pre-employment training programs.
The students toured Paul Davis’s facility, explored career opportunities, and gained insights into their impactful work, from disaster restoration to rebuilding lives. This collaboration exemplifies the power of networking to create life-changing opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Together, we’re shaping futures and enriching lives!

We Need Your Support
We are running out of time for Congress to pass the Recognizing the Role of Direct Support Professionals (DSP) Act.
This bill would require the Federal Government to study issues facing DSPs, which would help set better wages and conditions.
This bill has already passed the Senate and the first steps in the House of Representatives. Now, we need the full House to vote!
