Through the support of MassAbility, the YLN promotes self-advocacy and self-awareness for teens and young adults with disabilities ages 16 to 21, with opportunities for youth 14 to 26. This is a state-wide initiative with meetings and events held across the state as well as virtually. This is an opportunity for youth to make friends in their local communities and within the larger Network group.

All groups and events feature fun, hands-on activities and interactive discussions about communication, teamwork, community service, disability rights, career interests, and employment skills.

Pizza and refreshments will be served. New and returning members are always welcome to bring a friend. We hope to see you there!
