Registration Deadline: Wednesday, September 25, 2024

Buena Vista Recreation is excited to be partnering with Achieve, Inc to offer stand-alone Achieve Social programs targeted towards neuro-diverse individuals (individuals typically on the autism spectrum/ADD/ADHD and similar disabilities). The outings will provide participants an opportunity to hone their communication and teamwork skills and help build confidence. The overall program goal is to build social and cognitive skills in neuro-diverse teens and young adults in Chaffee County and the surrounding area.

This program provides events/activities/outings appropriate for neuro-diverse teens and young adults, ages 14-25, in Chaffee County and nearby areas. Activities will also include at least 1 support staff for every 3 participants. If participants require more one-on-one assistance, they will need to provide their own volunteer/mentor to assist them during the outing. Each attendee needs to register separately to ensure enough spaces are reserved. Registration is open to neuro-diverse participants, any friends/family members of neuro-diverse participants, and volunteers/mentors.

If participants need assistance with transportation to and from the Buena Vista Heritage Museum, please contact Danielle Brown, Programming Assistant of Achieve Inc., at danielle@achievelifeskills.org or (970) 209-2976.

If participants are interested in financial assistance, scholarships are available! Please visit www.buenavistarec.com/scholarships/ for more information and to apply.
