ACCESS Success is a program designed for transition-age youth (ages 14-24) and comprises of separate 2-day monthly modules. The ACCESS Workshops provide a platform for youth to further explore a specific independent living, post-secondary, or employment topic in-depth from Friday-Saturday as well as meet new friends, blind/low vision mentors, and stay connected! The ACCESS Success pre-employment transition skills curricula and learning outcomes are intentionally designed to focus on the five (5) required pre-employment transition skills activities (DOR student services) under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. Youth can join using their phone, tablet, or computer. The entire weekend module is 8 hours in length and held on Friday evening and Saturday. Learning Objectives: If you or anyone you know is interested in joining ACCESS Success, please: If you have any questions or would like to join the workshop, please contact youth@lighthouse-sf.org.
