You’re With Us! presents various programs.
In a world where everyone has unique potential, no one should be alone to deal with the challenges or to celebrate the minor and major achievements in their lives. You’re With Us! provides young adults with unique opportunities to belong to a group and derive the typical benefits people receive from activities. In the programs, our participants have always had the unique ability to profoundly affect those around them. By being included in their groups, our participants form relationships with college students---and college campuses---they are welcomed with compassion and empathy, and are provided with opportunities that would otherwise not be available. In essence, our framework enables our participants and peer mentors to “practice together” in their community, which is the setting where they will be taught to experience and thrive for the balance of their lives.
While You’re With Us! is dedicated to facilitating social inclusion and helping young adults with disabilities learn skills to feel more adaptive to society, we respect each individual’s pace and preference to learn and grow. We have implemented multiple programs to serve various needs, including Mentoring, the CBDS Program, the Campus Outing Day Program, and Fundraising Events. We thrive to create a sense of belonging for ALL - all of our mentors and mentees, participants and supporters, and all of our YWU families and their loved ones.
