5.3: Planning Your Program Calendar

In-Person Program Cycles

YCA delivers in-person programming within two windows:

• Late September to mid-November
• Mid-January to early June

This supports fall, winter, and spring cycles. Fall is generally the strongest window for a first in-person cycle.

Virtual Support Groups

Support groups can run at any point in the year, including periods when in-person programming is not running. For organizations building toward in-person delivery, support groups can maintain contact with young caregivers between cycles.
