State and local agencies will share about community based services, college and post secondary options, military options, assistance technology, and several other services. The district invites all ages to attend and explains how it helps set students up for success.

"The purpose of this event is to really educate and inform our community members prior to when they reach 11th and 12th grade, and it's open to the whole community," said YUHSD transition specialist Kacie Baker. "There's so many agencies in our community that cater to a wide range of ages, and they can support your child."
