A community in which people with disabilities and other barriers are a valued and integral part of our workforce.
Challenge has many Special Olympics stars enrolled in our programming and working for us directly. This summer, we formed a contingent of volunteers in order to give back to this important organization and support the athletes in our lives. It was an amazing weekend and we are looking forward to the next Special Olympics event! Check out our Meet the Athletes series on Facebook to read all about Challenge participants’ thoughts on and histories with the Special Olympics.
For Challenge’s Community Based Prevocational program, the partnership with Stablework has been tremendously enriching. Animal care often ranks high among possible vocational interests. The homey and inviting atmosphere at Stablework has created an ideal environment for developing transferrable workplace skills!
