Our Impact

PYD envisions a future where disabilities are embraced as part of the diversity that enriches our communities with equal opportunities for success and self-determination.

Our mission is to help young people with disabilities unlock and reach their full potential through mentorship, career development, and leadership programs while guiding organizations to build disability-inclusive environments.

Through innovative programs we break down barriers, providing the support and resources needed to increase participation and inclusion for disabled youth and forward-thinking organizations. 

Our Inclusion Promise

At PYD, we welcome and include people of all abilities and disabilities, identities, and backgrounds. We believe that diverse and fully inclusive organizations empower individuals, heal communities, and create a better world for us all.
