We will continue to grow developmental resources. Services could include various clubs, e.g. photography, computer, art, performance, gardening as well as drop-in facilities such as a gym, games/media room, yoga and art/photography studios.
We will be a highly visible and active force in the community. We will proudly host art and photography exhibits, have an art/craft store, and sell flowers and produce from our gardens. We will hold exhibitions, premieres, musical/theatrical productions and other events.
We will be a shining example of an organization that truly cares, and one that places expectations on its own individuals to participate and offer their unique talents and gifts to others. This philosophy becomes a key component of our approach in developing the individual as a whole, and stressing a strong sense of community. Therefore, we will have our individuals actively participate in the community where possible and appropriate. Examples include participating in food and Christmas toy drives, helping out at events for charities, and visiting individuals who are ill or incapacitated, e.g. hospitals, retirement residences.
A vision without action is just a dream. With support and effort, I believe we can create a model that offers dynamic, inspiring, and meaningful development, employment and volunteer opportunities for people with special needs.
