Peer Outreach Program & Game Night!
Our Peer Outreach Program, P.O.P., assist people with disabilities to reach their goals through one-on-one peer mentoring relationships and connecting you to others with lived experiences. Peer support can promote independence, build lifelong advocacy skills, and develop future leaders in our community. Every last Friday of the month is game night! We could play uno, cards, spades, dominoes, checkers, and more! Our games and cards are accessible to blind and low-vision players as we offer braille, large print, or a sighted volunteer to assist with game play.
