We’re excited for another Year of BCIL Youth Services! Throughout the 2026-2027 school year, students ages 14-21 with disabilities can participate in programs focused on preparing for adulthood, building independence, exploring careers, and developing self-advocacy skills!

Whether you want to join us every week, attend an occasional workshop, work one-on-one towards a goal, or try something new in the community, there are lots of ways to get involved!
