The Yes I Can! project has ended and its website is no longer available.

The Yes I Can! project at the University of Minnesota's Institute on Community Integration provided a program for middle and senior high schools to enhance social and recreational opportunities of young adults with disabilities. The program teaches interested students with and without disabilities to effectively work together to ensure that youth with disabilities are included in recreational and social activities of their choice within the communities in which they live.

Development and implementation of the Yes I Can program was supported by grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Rehabilitation Services Administration (Grant #H128-J980121) and Office of Special Education Programs (Grant #H234R00052); the Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation; and the Otto Bremer Foundation.

The Yes I Can! Social Inclusion Program was located at the Institute on Community Integration, a University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities at the University of Minnesota in the College of Education and Human Development.
