Youth Opportunities

Abilis After School
The Abilis After School program provides a structured environment where teens assist program participants at Abilis after their regular programs end for the day. Teens commit to at least one time slot a week. They may take on various roles, whether it's helping in the kitchen, leading karaoke, guiding arts and crafts, or simply being there for someone that needs a friend. It's a wonderful opportunity for teens to meet other teens and to support, engage, and make a difference in the lives of Abilis members.
