Description

Throughout their school years, these students have been served by parents, families, teachers, and an array of professionals always around them. Now, as part of a postsecondary program for students with disabilities, they are immersed in college life, and serving others is part of their curriculum. Transitioning to independence and adult living, these students are eager to "give back" as ambassadors, teachers, caregivers, team members, friends.
