Joanne,

How awesome! Can you imagine a group seminar discussion across teen summer programs, where they can share their stories, from Arizona to Virginia, and everywhere in between?

Similarly, holding some group seminars with inspirational speakers like Dr. Schroeder, Joanne Wilson, etc, how cool would that be?

Hey Becky,

I am more than happy to help. Maybe we can even get our summer camps to do some correspondence or group activities!

Hello all,

This is a follow up solicitation for volunteers to help out with our Learning Independence Feeling Empowered teen program at VRCBVI. We are looking for individuals who would be able to give up a couple hours, at the most, of your time to complete an informational interview over the phone or potentially via zoom. It would be some time in July or early August. Please let me know if you'd like to help out, and thanks in advance for your time.
