A Glimpse Into a Social Skills Program

For over 30 years, YAI's Central Park Challenge has raised funds and brought people together in order to create opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) to live, love, work, and learn in their communities.

On June 6, we'll be "streaming beyond disability" as we celebrate our essential workers and people with I/DD who have shown immense resilience throughout the pandemic.
