This group will consist of community-based activities in the Lee's Summit area to help self-advocates and their families in eastern Jackson County build relationships with friends and become more involved in their community. Register to receive monthly communication regarding that month's activity on each of the dates below, as our community activities are collaborative and planned with support with the parents of several self-advocates. 

This group will consist of structured activities and semi-structured free time to help self-advocates age 12-18 build relationships with friends, spend time in their community, and practice a variety of skills.

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.
