Our program continues to grow along with the needs of our participants. G.R.O.W. has expanded to include an Outreach Program that runs two Saturday evenings a month. Outreach focuses on social skills development by providing opportunities for socialization with peers and engagement in community life. A community support component has also been included to ensure that our participants living independently in the community are successful and safe. We are currently exploring a small business venture for our participants to produce and sell dog biscuits; a business to employ our participants and to provide them with the opportunity to actively contribute to their community.
