Mission Statement

To empower young adults in reaching their personal best, to be as independent as possible and to realize their lives have value and purpose.

What is Community Access?

• community-based service designed for students with disabilities who have met their graduation requirements and are 18-22 years old.

• Community Access enables students to move beyond the high school setting and continue their education in an age-appropriate environment with their peers.

• Community Access focuses on developing independence in the four life domains consisting of volunteer work, post-secondary education, adult living skills and recreation and leisure.

• The goal of Community Access is to provide hands-on experiences in the community to prepare students for adult life.

• The desired outcome of Community Access is for students to have the skills, resources and opportunities needed to lead a full and meaningful life.

Through accessing the community, students will experience:

• participation in volunteer work

• practice in community transportation

• access to the community for recreation and leisure

• continuing education opportunities

• building independence in adult living

• support in connecting with adult agencies

• exposure to a variety of living options
