Program

Y-O-U! Works is the employment arm — structured, supported production of readiness kits by disabled adults and disabled veterans. Workers are the engine of mission delivery, not token roles.

• Intake & training through partners such as MD DORS and VA VR&E
• Production of binders, workbooks, advocacy cards, and kit packs
• Quality control before packaging
• Fulfillment to FROs, chaplains, ACS/FFSC offices, and partners

A practical kit suite designed with military families raising children with disabilities at the center — useful at every stage of installation life.

• Onboarding Workbook — PCS, schools, TRICARE, financial basics
• Advocacy Script Cards — VA, IEP, housing, hardship, caregiver support
• PCS Readiness Kit — checklists, records, utilities, community cards
• Deployment Kit — communication, financial POA tools, children’s readiness
• Sensory Kit — signature disability-focused pack (IEP/EFMP/Tricare tools)

Distribution runs through Family Readiness Officers, chaplains, ACS/FFSC and AFRC offices, faith partners, and direct-to-family channels. Grant-subsidized kits aim so families are not turned away for inability to pay.

Live 60–90 minute workshops transform binder contents into practice: PCS preparation, deployment financial readiness, advocacy skills, sensory needs & IEP navigation, and community resilience.

A Train-the-Trainer path equips FROs, chaplains, and ACS/FFSC staff to facilitate workshops using the binder system as curriculum.
