Often teens and young adults with disabilities have many questions about the future when they leave school. Questions like: “Where can I get my first real job?” or “How do I get my own place?” If you have a disability, finding the supports and services you need to answer these questions may seem difficult.
The Youth Empowerment Resource Center is a project of Inclusion Research Institute that is designed to help District of Columbia teens and young adults ages thirteen to thirty (13 – 30) answer some of these questions and find supports to assist them to become contributing members of the community. This project and website were made possible with federal government support under grant number 90DN0218 awarded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
