As we wrap up another incredible year, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who helped make our SEPAC events possible.
Thank you to our families, volunteers, presenters, community partners, school staff, and supporters who attended, participated, and believed in our mission throughout the year.
A special thank you goes to those working behind the scenes, the people who donated their time, talents, ideas, resources, and energy to ensure each event ran smoothly.
Whether you helped with planning, setup, cleanup, translations, registration, outreach, childcare, or countless other tasks, your contributions made a meaningful difference.
Because of your support, we were able to create opportunities for learning, connection, advocacy, and community for so many families.
We are truly grateful for every person who played a role, both seen and unseen. Thank you for being part of our village and for helping make this year such a success.
With appreciation,
The SEPAC Team

YLF is a free, accessible summer conference where students with disabilities (ages 16–21) can stay overnight on a college campus, build leadership skills, prepare for employment, and meet peers.
PYD (Partners for Youth with Disabilities) has been running YLF for 25 years, but this is our first year in Central MA!
We’re relying on local leaders to help us connect with students so they can leverage this powerful growth and community experience.
