Last year, this event, along with the Scrapbooking Weekend Retreat and Holiday Vendor and Craft Fair, raised $9,000 to build an inclusive playground for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities at The Learning Campus. This year, we aim to surpass that amount to support our new Employment Center, enhancing opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
About the Employment Center:
Our new Employment Center is a cornerstone of our Employment First initiative, dedicated to expanding services and integrating support across all our campuses. This transformative hub will be a dynamic, growth-oriented space designed to foster professional collaboration and community engagement. It will serve as a communal drop-in support area where individuals can access resources, attend workshops, and participate in meetings that drive their personal and professional development.
