Building Confidence
Participants thrive as they learn and grow. They gain confidence in themselves as they take on new challenges and explore their community, safely and with support.

Livin' & Learnin' clients had a blast at Discovery World in Milwaukee! The highlights of the day included learning about various types of fish and being able to take home a 3D puzzle. These experiences help our clients connect with the community, explore new opportunties, and create... lasting memories.
