DISCOVER EVENTS & ACTIVITIES
Never miss what's happening at YADA in our Events tab. Explore upcoming social events, skill-building activities, community outings, special gatherings, and other opportunities. View event details, RSVP, and stay informed about changes and updates. From weekly social activities to opportunities that encourage personal growth and independence, the YADA app keeps the community's activities right at your fingertips.

GROUP CHATS
Stay connected beyond YADA events with group chats. Send messages to other members and continue conversations between activities. Group chats gives members another way to build friendships, coordinate plans, share encouragement, and maintain meaningful connections within the YADA community.

CONNECT WITH OTHER YADA MEMBERS VIA MEMBER DIRECTORY
Get to know the people who make YADA special. The member directory makes it easier to discover and connect with other members of the YADA community. YADA is more than a calendar of events—it's a place to build relationships. Connect with peers who share similar experiences and interests. Participate in conversations, meet new people, message in group chats, and stay involved between events. YADA creates opportunities for healthy social interaction while helping young adults develop confidence and a stronger sense of belonging.

STAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR COMMUNITY
The YADA community continues beyond weekly gatherings. Use the app to stay up to date with announcements. Push notifications help members stay informed about important updates, upcoming activities, and community news.

ACCESS YADA RESOURCES & RESOURCE DIRECTORY
Find helpful information and resources in one central location. YADA provides access to educational materials, community resources, guides, documents, announcements, and other helpful content. Having important information available through the app makes it easier to stay informed and connected.

MEET YADA+
Supporting a young adult's journey toward independence is a journey for the entire family, especially a young adult with differing abilities. YADA+ is a dedicated community for parents and caregivers. YADA+ gives parents and caregivers an opportunity to connect with others who understand their experiences, share ideas, exchange resources, ask questions, offer encouragement, and build meaningful friendships. Through group discussions, communication, resource sharing, and occasional gatherings, YADA+ helps families develop their own network
of support.

TWO COMMUNITIES. ONE YADA FAMILY.
YADA is designed around young adults whose abilities are outside the “norm”—their friendships, activities, interests, personal growth, and journey toward greater independence. YADA+ is designed for the parents and caregivers who support them. Together, they create a stronger community where young adults and their families can connect, learn, encourage one another, and thrive.

The YADA app brings that mission into everyday life by making it easier to connect with friends, discover opportunities, participate in the community, access resources, and build relationships.

Connect. Belong. Grow. Thrive.
