Vibrant Community focuses on identifying and building employment and volunteer opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities. This collaborative effort seeks to foster meaningful interactions by cultivating partnerships between individuals with disabilities, regional businesses, faith communities, and service organizations.
The March meeting will feature an engaging panel discussion and time for our working groups to meet. This meeting is open to guests. We encourage you to consider inviting others to join you.
Please RSVP by March 23!
Following the panel discussion, the four working groups (Faith, Advocacy and Collaboration, CCRC (Life Plan Communities), and Transition and Employment) will discuss their progress since the last gathering and identify future actions.
