Take the pledge for your future!
Do you want to find a job? Do you want to go to college? Do you want to find a place of your own? These are questions that young adults ask themselves as they make the transition from school to adult life. The S2L group is searching for young adults ages 14-25 with disabilities from all over Pennsylvania to make a pledge for their futures. We want to show everyone that young adults have goals and dreams for their future, and that they don’t want to graduate “to the couch” Take the pledge today!
