Electronic Visitation

IYC Warrenville offers free video calls, messaging, and voice calls through the Ameelio Connect app. You will need to set up an Ameelio Connect account and have visits approved by IYC Warrenville in order to participate in electronic visits. Directions are below.

Step 3: Add your youth as a contact

After you submit your photos, you can add your youth by clicking ‘Request Contact’. Select IYC Warrenville and search by their last name or ID number. If the youth has listed you on their contact list and your ID photos are cleared, IYC Warrenville will approve you in the app and you can start communicating with your youth.
