Why YAAG Matters

After high school, many neurodiverse young adults lose access to structured social environments and inclusive programs. YAAG fills this gap by offering consistent, safe, community‑based opportunities that reduce isolation and build lifelong skills. YAAG creates a structured community where neurodiverse young adults grow socially, emotionally, and independently — while families gain support, connection, and hope.
