CLEVELAND - Cleveland is hosting one of three state Youth Transition Leadership Summits this year.
The meetings are designed for youth (13-17 years old) and young adults (18-26 years old) with and without special health care needs and developmental disabilities, who are transitioning into life after high school. They will be used to give participants ideas and tools to use while focusing on transitioning into adulthood. Presentations will be given by peers and professionals on topics on transition in the areas of education, health, employment, legal rights, recreation & leisure and community life.
There will be a parent track focused on transitioning into adulthood and what parents need to know to support their students to access a life well lived after high school.
There are three opportunities to participate:
- May 2 Rincon
- June 6 in Cleveland
- June 13 in Atlanta.
Each Summit begins at 10:00 a.m. and registration is required. Learn more by visiting the Leadership Summit website at: http://georgiayouthtransitionsummit.weebly.com
