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.

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. Your attendance and any snacks we provide are FREE.Join us for a night of fun and socializing!
