When students with disabilities exit a school system at graduation, they quickly lose connection with their community of friends, peers, and teachers. Consequently, many young adults with disabilities spend a great deal of time at home and become isolated from those outside of their household. The Gate was founded to provide positive social interactions for each individual in a safe, friendly, and encouraging environment. With our caring staff & volunteers, participants not only enjoy stimulating activities, but they also participate in a positive social outlet and are presented with the opportunity to develop their own unique abilities.
