The Young Adult Summer Takeover is a hands-on summer experience for young adults ages 18–24 who are ready to grow, build real-life skills, and step into adulthood with confidence.
Over 9 weeks, participants move through 25 powerful workshops designed to give you the tools school rarely teaches; from navigating real-world systems to building leadership, independence, and community.
This isn’t a lecture series.
It’s life school.
Workshops are interactive, discussion-based, and practical, meeting 2–3 times per week, and centered around the four core Y2Y Pathways:
Build the everyday tools needed to navigate adulthood: decision-making, communication, finances, boundaries, and more.
Learn how to both receive guidance and mentor others in your community.
Understand the systems around you — education, careers, opportunities, and how to advocate for yourself.
Develop the mindset and practical skills needed to build stability, independence, and long-term growth.
By the end of the workshop series, participants will:
• Strengthen independence and real-world decision-making
• Build leadership and mentorship skills
• Develop practical tools for navigating adulthood
• Form meaningful connections with peers and mentors
• Gain confidence in their ability to shape their future
Most importantly, you’ll walk away with community.
A flexible, donation-based option for those who want to attend individual workshops.
Includes all 25 workshops across the 9-week program, giving participants the full journey and community experience.
