Jeff and friends had a great time earlier this year at the Harlem Globe Trotters game. Events like this are possible because of the support YOU provide! Thank you!

“I look forward to spending time with my support worker because we do lots of fun things together like attending concerts, going to movies and shows, playing baseball, swimming, bike riding, baking, going for car rides, doing crafts together. We have good conversations, and we laugh a lot too! My worker is like family to me and spending time with her makes me happy.” - Megan

“As a parent, support workers provide much needed respite! Parents get a break from their caretaking tasks, and kids can enjoy socialization beyond their immediate family. They keep our kids involved in community activities. They facilitate new friendships and help maintain connections with their current friends, particularly through the pandemic with the use of technology (Zoom) and fun, creative activities. We were so grateful for this as it helped keep my daughter in a positive state of mind! Support workers are very important to families. They provide valuable and loving service to the most precious members of our families.” - Angela (Megan's mother)

"Few of St. Clair's programs have the degree of first-hand, highly personal, one-on-one involvement that our Developmental Services Worker and Personal Support Worker programs do. The individuals in these occupations have truly fostered inclusivity in our community by being the assistive agents who have broken down barriers. They aren't just care-givers, they are freedom-givers."

- Dr. Patti France, President, St. Clair College
