STRIVE serves teens and young adults with disabilities with a focus on creating peer support through socialization. We also offer educational programming, community events, and much more!
Description:
The PSL STRIVE Program addresses many issues in relation to young adults ages 15-24 with disabilities. 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 our program is our Friday Night events- an evening of socializing and creating lasting friendships. With over 100 people for an average attendance, young people enjoy pool, foose ball, air hockey, arts and crafts, dancing, computers, food, and much more! Friendships are created here that carry over into the community.
History:
Our agency has been in existence since 1989. We have served adults with disabilities since that time in a variety of ways, including Drop-in, Day Hab, residential, and in-home support. Our STRIVE program was created in December 1999.
