These Virtual Social Groups for Teens provide a structured, creative, and dynamic environment for participants to socialize, learn, and have fun together, without the hassle of leaving the house or arranging transportation. Lauren Holmes, the facilitator of the group, who is our Virtual Life Skills Specialist, ensures every individual is included in meaningful ways during the group activities. This is also an awesome opportunity to build meaningful relationships with new friends who are both local and from other states in our country.

All registered participants will receive a Zoom link from the instructor. 

Adults are invited to attend our in-person social groups on Tuesday evenings from 6:00-8:00 PM. Sessions are always a balance of continuing education and having a good time with friends. We’d love to see you there!

Join us for a fun and engaging children’s group outing at Deanna Rose Children’s Farmstead on June 11 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM! Families will have the opportunity to explore the farm, interact with animals, and enjoy a relaxed, supportive environment with peers and staff.

This is a great chance for children to build social connections while experiencing all the hands-on activities the farm has to offer. We hope to see you there for a morning of learning, laughter, and community!

DSI will pay the price of admission and give families the opportunity to connect.
