Volunteers from Ketchum & Walton Co. joined us for a co****le tournament and the competition was fierce! Participants had a blast cheering each other on and showing off their skills!

We're grateful to these volunteers for making this event possible. They brought just as much enthusiasm to the competition as our co****le players did. We love seeing community partners get involved and create memorable experiences for the people we serve!

A few Prevocational Services members recently put their work readiness skills to use by cleaning out the bocce ball courts used by our All-Star Training Club athletes. Their hard work helped get the courts ready for another season of inclusive sports.

We love seeing our programs support one another! Thank you to our Prevocational Services team for making these courts game-day ready again! ⭐

Learning and creativity came together during a recent trip to the STEM Center of Excellence at Girl Scout Camp Ledgewood!

A group of CHAMPS and SociAbilities members spent the day exploring the world of insects and nature while creating crafts inspired by what they learned. Hands-on experiences like these make learning fun and give participants the chance to discover new interests in a welcoming environment. They loved every minute of it! 🦋✨

Last week BraVo! participants gathered at Tuscarawas Shelter in Firestone Metro Park for their annual picnic! They enjoyed good food, time outdoors and had plenty of fun! Brian Thomas, UDS President & CEO, provided live music while everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather and played games like co****le!

They wrapped up the day taking turns breaking open a candy-filled piñata handmade by BraVo! Program Supervisor Heidi Imhoff. 🍬🎉

We can't wait for next year's picnic!
