Summer Youth Program

Ability Inclusion Services is excited to offer a summer youth program for young adults ages 18-22 two who are in post high school. This program fills an important gap in summer options for youth with disabilities by providing a structured, full day experience that blends community learning, life skills, therapeutic recreation and career exploration. Participants will volunteer, tour workplaces, and practice job skills while also building independence through cooking, daily living tasks, art, fitness and social learning. We are accepting up to 15 students, so families are encouraged to apply early. Our small group model provides individualized support and meaningful growth for every participant.

Throughout the summer, students will take part in a variety of community outings, giving them the chance to explore new places, build confidence and connect with the world around them. Tuition assistance will be available to help families of all income levels participate.

The program is designed to build independence, strengthen social skills and support personal development in an accessible, inclusive environment. Participants will enjoy a balanced mix of structured learning, hands-on activities and fun recreational experiences.

Our Vision

The goal of the summer youth program is to strengthen independence, social development and career readiness for young adults with disabilities while supporting a smoother transition into adulthood. For those who may never work, the program offers a valuable chance to get to know AIS, become comfortable with our staff and routines and explore our services before graduation. This early connection reduces transition anxiety and gives families confidence knowing that when school ends, their child will already have a trusted, familiar full time day program lined up, along with a safe and engaging place to continue learning during the summer months.
