Service Details
Description:

Youth in Motion is a safe space for young adults (aged 16-24) to connect with peers and prepare to live independently. Spring and Fall sessions consist of virtual and in-person meetups where youth with disabilities socialize, play games, and have important discussions about shared challenges, concerns, and successes.



Youth in Motion offers participants the chance to meet face-to-face in an accessible, safe environment. Once per session, participants meet at Communitech in Kitchener, in an amazing space sponsored by Smart Waterloo Region Innovation Lab. Participants spend time together playing games, doing crafts, enjoying a pizza dinner, and connecting with each other.
