quality of life and more enhanced futures in their community.
Project Information:
Executive Director, Connie Melanson-Savoy is pleased to announce IA SENB, is the successful recipient of a $55,000 grant from NBCF. The funds will contribute to IA SENB’s initiative to establish a robust, core group of trained volunteer facilitators. These facilitators will provide persons-centered futures planning, as well as implement opportunities to support the development/enhancement of foundational and transferable skills for youth with IDD, to assist these youth in better preparing for transition to more successful and independent adult living in their community. This achievement is yet another valuable collaboration, and an affirming illustration of what progress can be made when we combine our resources and work together.
