The program strives to provide academic growth, career exploration, work experience, and social activities to young adults with IDD while empowering them to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to become independent citizens. We offer an opportunity to experience life on a college campus while developing self-determination, independent living, and vocational skills.
Each student will be on the program for 4 semesters, where the students will take university courses, meet with peer mentors, attend living skills workshops, obtain work experience on campus, and enjoy campus life.
