Description
STRIVE is a nonprofit that provides a venue for socialization and peer support to teenagers and young adults (ages 15-24) with developmental disabilties. Areas that we focus on include: improving fundamental academic skills, developing leadership potential, improving economic opportunities through continuing education, enhancing or upgrading work skills, integrating literary and social skills into occupational/vocational opportunities, fostering career opportunities through education and training, and promoting peer support for parents and siblings of this young population. The cornerstone of STRIVE are our weekly Friday Nights. Every Friday STRIVE gives members a chance to have fun and interact with peers with and without disabilities.
