Youth Services
RRCI youth group focuses on ages 5- 24. We strive to give youth the tools to empower themselves and create lasting positive relationships. We do this by providing them opportunities and activities that establish job training, advocacy, and social skills.
Transitions Advocacy Program (TAPs)

These classes promote self-advocacy and inclusion for all students into both the classroom and the community at large. Youth will gain the skills and confidence necessary to become active participants in designing their own 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 they would like.
