TRANSITION TO ADULTHOOD RESOURCES
1. YOUR FUTURE, YOUR WAY
Life changes after high school. It's a time of new opportunities and yes, some challenges too. That's why we built the Transition Hub – to help students with extra support needs (like an IEP or 504 plan) navigate what's next. If you live in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, or the Pacific Territories, learn more about how we can help.
