Independence, Community, and Legacy
Our participants achieved exciting milestones in 2025: riding public transportation for the first time, practicing money management while shopping, and giving back through Meals on Wheels volunteering, delivering meals to seniors and adults with disabilities.
We’re also proud to have former participants return to lead art and LEGO classes, guiding others and demonstrating the impact of the skills they’ve gained.
In honor of Penny Musante, the founder of this program, participants and partner sites came together for a memorial rock-painting activity, spreading the rocks throughout the community and her legacy of inclusion and community throughout the area.
