Open Doors For Multicultural Families

Transition programming 14-26: this model delivers culturally responsive programming that supports youth with disabilities in achieving iep goals, building advocacy and job readiness skills, support in college pathways, and forming meaningful relationships. Through mentorship, peer connections, and holistic development, the program fosters graduation, employment, and a strong sense of belonging within the community. We are currently holding programming for students during school hours for two high schools and expanding community for high school and young adults with weekly virtual engagement and monthly in person activities.
