Get Involved

Now more than ever ... it matters!

We at the YAI Network believe that every person, regardless of age or level of ability, is entitled to the same dignity, respect and opportunities as all other members of society. YAI Network gives people with developmental and learning disabilities the tools they need to be independent and productive members of their communities.

We need your help to continue to make a difference. Cutbacks in government funding jeopardize the important work that we do. We are asking for your support. Contributions, at all levels, fund such critical services as:

• Start-up costs for new residences or renovations of existing homes designed specifically to meet the needs of seniors with disabilities.
• Camp scholarships that send kids to summer camp in the Catskills where they learn socialization and independence while interacting with typically developing children.
• Programs for children and adults with autism, such as evaluations and occupational, speech and behavioral therapies.

Please join us in our mission. Your generosity will bring hope to children and adults with developmental disabilities and peace of mind to their families.

Learn more about our many ways to give--we have options that fit every budget and financial situation. You may also make an online donation now.

You can also get involved with us by becoming a Friend of YAI, advocating with us, joining our Brighter Futures Society, attending a special event or taking part in our Corporate Volunteer Program!  

Whether you are a longtime supporter of the YAI Network or participating for the first time, thank you so much for all that you do to help us make a difference. For more information, please contact support@yai.org or 1-877-YAI-GIFT(924-4438).
