You're With Us

About Our Charity

64933f0a6fe7e.png



You’re With Us! is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and a Department of Developmental Services (DDS) service provider that creates inclusion opportunities for young adults with disabilities. The program identifies and trains college clubs, groups, and teams to welcome individuals with disabilities into their groups as they are. You’re With Us! believes that a meaningful life includes a home, a job, family, friends and social opportunities with their peers - able and otherwise.             

We are thrilled to be an official Charity Partner for the 2023 Flutie 5k and raise critical funds that will directly support our programs.     

You’re With Us! supports 100+ families impacted by disability through multiple programs including our Community Based Day Programs, The Mid-Day Program, and our Mentoring Program.



Benefits of inclusion flow in both directions. People with disabilities have the potential to influence those around them -- a special ability to open people up to compassion, empathy, and leadership. Further, You’re With Us! seeks to change the perceptions of disabled young people who believe they are separate and excluded by helping them become part of the communities centered on the activities that they enjoy. In turn, their new peers in these communities, who may have thought of children with disabilities as different, now find them to be friends, teammates, and even family.


                     

All people are healthiest when they feel safe, supported, and connected to others around them. The inclusion of people with disabilities in these communities provides the essential social skills and leadership tools to allow them to lead a full life.

By participating in the Flutie 5k as a part of the YWU team you will aid in providing the resources needed to recruit and train college groups to be welcoming and supportive peers for young adults with disabilities. Social connections are a basic human need that we ALL deserve. Those affected by disabilities are not isolated by choice but because of the lack of opportunity to be welcomed by their peers.
