2026 NYFAS Registration Form

Please note that we use onsite accommodation at Kilkenny College for the young people attending the NYFAS. The accommodation is divided into female dorms and male dorms only. If we have a non-binary or transgender young person or persons in attendance, they will be designated accommodation according to their gender assigned at birth. If your young person is transgender or non binary please discuss the accommodation with them before registering.

Important Considerations: Environment & Support Needs
At YIFM, we are passionate about inclusivity and love welcoming a diverse range of young people to our programmes. However, to ensure every participant has a safe and rewarding experience, it is important to understand the specific nature of our workshops.

Our Creative Environment

1. Our programmes are high-energy, fast-paced, and physically dynamic. Throughout the day, participants will encounter:
2. High Sensory Input: Constant noise, frequent changes in lighting, and a bustling atmosphere.
3. Group Dynamics: A strong focus on collaborative team-work and following collective instructions.
4. Fast Transitions: A rapid workflow that requires a high level of adaptability.

Support Limitations

While we strive to be as accommodating as possible, we do not have SNAs or specialized support staff on our team.

Consequently:

• We are not in a position to provide 1-to-1 care or manage high-level support needs.
• All participants must be able to navigate a group setting independently and adhere to our behavior policy.

We ask that you carefully consider whether this high-intensity, over-stimulating environment is the right fit for your young person. If a participant requires a level of support beyond what our current resources allow, we may not be able to provide the environment they deserve to flourish.
