After a summer full of YLAT fun, we are excited to continue with our monthly meetings across the state, including new Jr YLAT meetings. 

 

In case the YLAT team has to make last-minute changes to our in-person meeting plans, please stay up-to-date on our Facebook page. 

 

Contact a YLAT staff member or your OCFS Transition Specialist with any questions or concerns. We wish you well and look forward to connecting soon.
