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

Service Area: Trainers are able to travel nationwide and beyond.

Cost: Cost is variable and available upon request. PYD sometimes writes or co-writes grants to support National Center trainings, so there are many options for getting involved. Please contact us with any questions!
