WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT
See how we help people with disabilities find an ideal position
As a way for people with disabilities to lead more enriched lives, The Kennedy Collective offers Social & Leisure services. Members of our social group, named The Drop In, can partake in a variety of monthly activities – from fun adventures out into the community, to team-building games. All activities are social in nature, are attended by our specialist staff, and are based on the personal interests of the participating individuals.
The Drop In social group – consisting of both men and women with disabilities – meets every Thursday from 5:00-7:00pm at The Kennedy Collective building, 39 Lindeman Drive, in Trumbull, Connecticut. In these gatherings, social activities are suggested, planned, and scheduled three months in advance – which empowers members to use their life skill-building for choosing events, and planning their attendance.
The Drop In program was created more than 30 years ago – and the original members still make up most of the core group. Individuals mention the fact that they can express themselves, connect with others, feel a part of the community – and have a great time! – as reasons why they like planning and attending The Kennedy Collective social & leisure activities.
The Kennedy Collective Social & Leisure Services feature quality programming that enriches the lives of people with disabilities – increasing their socialization skills, building their confidence in group settings, and offering ways to enjoy their community. The individuals who attend these social activities create valuable relationships with each other – and with the local businesses they visit, who always look forward to The Kennedy Collective group coming back.
If you or someone you know would benefit from our Social & Leisure Services, The Kennedy Collective team would love to have a conversation. Please provide some initial information, and a team member will be in touch with you.
