Trainings & Technical Assistance
Our trainings cover two key areas - replication and inclusion.
Replication trainings assist organizations in developing a mentoring program for youth with disabilities. Inclusion trainings assist youth-serving organizations in making their programs more inclusive of youth with disabilities. Trainings can be customized based on individual needs and interests, but here is a list of possible training topics:
- Establishing a Mentoring Program for Youth with Disabilities
- Establishing an Entrepreneurship Program for Youth with Disabilities
- Training Your Mentors in Disability Inclusion
- Principles of Inclusion
- Disability Etiquette & Communication tips
- Common Challenges faced by Youth with Disabilities
- Tips for Engaging Youth and Volunteers with Disabilities
