Explore Your Future (EYF) is a six-day career exploration program at the Rochester Institute of Technology. The program is for college-bound high school students who are deaf or hard of hearing and will enter their sophomore, junior or senior year in the fall of 2025.

Students will gain hands-on experience in various career areas, including the arts, business, computer science, engineering, health sciences and more.

• Determine career interests and learning styles as they begin thinking about college
• Develop decision-making skills
• Build confidence and independence
• Make new friends from all over the country
• Have fun!

On the final day of each session, EYF offers a parent/guardian workshop providing strategies for ensuring your student successfully transitions from high school to college.

The cost is $850 and covers room, board and all activities. Limited financial aid is available for students who demonstrate financial need. If you need financial help, please contact ntidoutreach@rit.edu.
