Youth Services
RRCI youth group focuses on ages 5- 21. We strive to give youth the tools to empower themselves and create lasting positive relationships. We do this by giving them opportunities and providing activities that establish: job, advocacy, and social skills.
Transitions Advocacy Program (TAPs)
Students Ages 14-21 with IEP/504
RRCI provides several complete courses designed to fulfill the needs of individuals with disabilities to independently integrate into their community.
These courses encompass a wide range of independent living skills including but not limited to:
-
Education on various specific disabilities
-
Social-emotional learning
-
Self-exploration
-
Healthy relationships
-
Pre-employment
-
and more!
These classes also promote general inclusion for all into both the classroom and the community at large. Youth will gain the skills and confidence necessary to become active participants in designing their futures.
These courses actively build the mindset and skills necessary for students to become self-advocates in a variety of settings (including their IEP meetings).
Lessons engage students in active, multimodal learning using media, games, books, hands-on activities, class discussion, and group/teamwork.
Students can take the courses as many times as necessary.
Youth Group
RRCI offers three after school youth groups that are free to youth ages: 5-10, 11-15, and 16-21.
