Virginia Intercommunity Transition Council (VITC)

Transition programs for youth are more effective and more efficient when existing services are accessible and duplication of effort is minimized. VITC is committed to promoting successful transition outcomes for youth by providing leadership and innovation in employment, education, and community support systems that can influence success for all students in transition.

Additionally, Virginia's Intercommunity Transition Council is committed to promoting partnerships and influencing linkages that result in transition service networks for coordinating person-centered services. Learn more about person-centered services from The Learning Community for Person-Centered Practices.

The mission of the Virginia's Intercommunity Transition Council is to promote successful transition outcomes for youth and young adults with disabilities by providing leadership and innovation in employment, education, training, living independently, community participation, and community support systems that influence success for all students.
