Stated Purpose:
INCLUDEnyc’s mission is to promote positive futures and enhance the quality of life for New York City children and youth with disabilities, ages birth through 26, and their families. INCLUDEnyc empowers families of children and youth with disabilities with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to make informed decisions, effectively access and navigate systems and services, and advocate for themselves and other young people with disabilities and their families. INCLUDEnyc supports educators, youth workers, and other professionals to partner with families for successful, person-centered services, and to support and promote a family voice in the policy process.

Year, State Incorporated:
1981, NY

INCLUDEnyc provides a comprehensive array of programming that serves youth with any disability, known or suspected, from birth to 26 years of age. We address all disability-related topics and provide a broad network of support. Activities include intensive one-to-one coaching, individualized direct assistance, Help Line, workshops and trainings, events, information resources, service referrals, and advocacy and life skills development. This work—much of it unique in the disability community—is focused in three core areas. Our Parent and Family Engagement programming—such as Help Line, workshops, trainings, support groups, Early Childhood Initiative—works with parents and caregivers to make informed decisions, secure essential services, and advocate for their child with disabilities. INCLUDEnyc’s Youth and Transition Services (key programs include Project Possibility, Bridges, High School Launch, Career Launch) helps youth with disabilities (ages 14-26, who are at greatest risk for poor academic and employment outcomes) understand and articulate their learning needs, explore and pursue postsecondary goals, and build the critical skills they will need to gain greater independence in adulthood. Lastly, our Partner and Community Engagement—which encompasses all communications, outreach, resources, public policy advocacy, and annual events—builds a network of collaborators who bolster our capacity to disseminate critical resources, enhance our annual events, and allow us to connect with the community at large. To ensure accessibility for everyone, all INCLUDEnyc programs are free and multilingual.
