Ages 14 – 24

The Youth 2 Youth (Y2Y) program aims to support teens and youth by creating a space where they can explore issues of concern together. The monthly sessions will create a safe and inclusive environment for youth with learning disabilities and/or ADHD to meet and share their struggles and strategies for success.
Sessions will begin with a guest speaker on a relevant topic to youth, followed by an opportunity for the participants to connect with other youth with learning disabilities and/or ADHD. Youth Ambassadors will be present at the sessions to facilitate conversations and share their experiences living with a learning disability and/or ADHD.
