The SKIP of New York Enrollment Department assists individuals and/or families through the initial eligibility and enrollment application process into one or more program at no cost to the individual and their families.
Each family is assigned an Enrollment Coordinator who serves as their advocate and who assists by navigating state agencies and non-profit provider agencies to secure the services the child needs.
