For those who have already registered, please note: we will be in touch to confirm your registration. At that time, we will need the student ID number for all of the attendees in your school group. This information will ONLY BE SHARED WITH ORS, who has agreed to help cover some of the registration costs for youth attendees.

Also, PLEASE CONTACT US ASAP if any of the students in your group are not able to attend so that others on the waiting list will be able to register!

Thanks to our co-sponsors at the RI Office of Rehabilitation Services and the Department of BHDDH, we're able to offer a FREE Conference Day Registration to Rhode Island high school youth who are in transition, along with teachers and/or others who will be attending with students to offer direct support!
