In collaboration with the MTA's Vacant Unit Activation Program, YAI and our affiliate school, iHOPE, transformed the 7th Ave Station with a vibrant mural created using power mobility devices! 🎨👨🦼➡️ Hear from Megan Wenzel, iHOPE’s Director of Speech and Therapy, as she shares how this piece came to life and the impact it's had on their community 💙 #YAI #iHOPE #AccessibleArt #MTAVacantUnitActivation #PowerMobilityCreativity

As Chairman of iHOPE's Board of Trustees, Kevin's kindness, generosity, and unwavering belief in our mission made a lasting impact on our entire school. He will truly be missed.
It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of our CEO, Kevin Carey, following a courageous battle with cancer. Kevin was more than a chief executive; he was a passionate advocate for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and a beloved, dear friend to so many in the YAI community. Since joining YAI in 2016, Kevin’s dedication, compassion, and vision helped shape a stronger, more inclusive future for the people we support. “Kevin was an extraordinary leader, inspiring us all with his unwavering commitment to YAI in building a far better world” said Jeffery Mordos, Chair of YAI’s Board of Trustees. “He will be sorely missed but his legacy will live on through the many lives he touched.” Our thoughts are with Kevin’s family, friends, and everyone at YAI.

It was wonderful celebrating our incredible team during Staff Appreciation Week at iHOPE! 💙 One of my favorite moments was hosting a special luncheon for staff members who have been with us for 8+ years. We shared laughs, memories, and stories from the early days — and felt inspired thinking about all that’s ahead. So grateful for the dedication, heart, and commitment of our amazing team. Here's to the past, present, and future of iHOPE! #StaffAppreciation #Teamwork #Gratitude #iHOPE
