A TRIP ACROSS THE PROGRAMS
Spring has officially arrived and our participants are bursting with excitement! With weekly calendars created across all locations, there's always something fun with a dash of life skills development happening. From hand-eye coordination games in Bradenton and a cookout in Port Charlotte to library time in North Port--key skills are being strengthened and honed every day.
