Welcome
Rita Young & Associates partners with public agencies and mission-driven organizations to translate policy into practice, align stakeholders, and support leadership decision-making in moments that matter.
Rita is most often brought in when initiatives involve multiple stakeholders, require alignment across systems, or carry significant operational or public visibility. Her work helps leaders clarify direction, anticipate challenges, and move forward with confidence.
With decades of experience across disability, health, and human services, Rita brings steady leadership to environments where the path forward is not yet fully defined.
How Rita Works
Rita works at the intersection of public policy, organizational leadership, and lived experience. She helps leaders slow complexity down enough to make sound decisions—before momentum, pressure, or uncertainty narrow the available options.
Her role is not simply to facilitate or advise, but to help organizations move forward with clarity, alignment, and durability.
