Sherlock Sentinels Advisory Committee

The Sherlock Sentinels is an advisory committee consisting of individuals with disabilities, parents of those in the disability community and professionals in the disability field. The Sentinels meet three times per year to advise the Sherlock Center on activities, goals and its five-year plan.

The Sherlock Center invites new members to join the Sentinels. If you are interested, please email for an application. All applicants will participate in an interview.

The Sherlock Center will provide physical, language and material accommodations as needed. Members receive a stipend from the Sherlock Center for attending meetings and to help with transportation expenses.

We meet three times per year. Our meetings are hybrid; participants are welcome to join us in person at the Sherlock Center or virtually over Zoom.

We are the voice of the disability community at the Sherlock Center. Our firsthand experience provides valuable insights about what the Center should prioritize and change to improve accessibility for our community. We bring diverse perspectives, ensuring the Center’s services and programs are inclusive and relevant to a broad range of people. We identify gaps in services, suggest new initiatives and help shape programs that address the specific needs of the disability community. We are the living embodiment of “Nothing About Us Without Us!”
