Have you ever felt excluded or alone due to something you can't control? Do you wish that you could be part of a community? Many people with disabilities aren't included in everyday social events due to their differences, but why? Having disabilities is no reason to push someone into their bedroom all day, secluding them from their able-bodied peers.
You're With Us! helps young adults with a wide range of disabilities to feel like they belong in a sports group or club on a college campus. Inclusion, inclusion, inclusion! The goal of the program is to allow young adults with disabilities to feel as though they belong to a group but to also help the group as well. When these individuals are placed in a group, they have a special ability to open people up to compassion, empathy, and leadership skills with the people they interact with.
You're With Us! wants to show that young adults with disabilities don't need to be separated and excluded by their peers, but, instead, have the ability to make a large impact on their communities. When entering their communities, those with disabilities will be able to change the public's opinion on young adults with disabilities, allowing them to be part of their friend group and family.
You're With Us! is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and a Department of Developmental Services (DDS) service provider creating inclusion opportunities for young adults with disabilities.
