Our Mission Statement: 

Our mission is to provide opportunities for 18-21 year old students to continue their learning, refine vocational pursuits, and enhance social relationships in the settings utilized by their college-aged peers.  The collaboration with the University of Connecticut creates  opportunities for students to be involved with college peers who have a vested interest in working with individuals with a range of disabilities.  Outcomes will include knowledge, skills, and friendships beneficial to their transition to the adult world.
