At LIFE at RCIL, we understand the unique challenges faced by children and adolescents with disabilities. Youth Services provides personalized support and resources tailored to each family’s needs, which foster growth, independence, and community engagement. Through academic scholarships, adventure programs, and educational advocacy, we’re committed to helping young individuals thrive at home, in school, and beyond.

  • Educational Advocacy develops effective special education plans with families and schools.
  • Main Street Program assists at-risk youth with developmental disabilities in Oneida, Herkimer, and Madison Counties who want to get back on the right track.
