Join The Experience Of Wellspring!
Wellspring is the program it is today because of the community that has come alongside of us, supported us, and welcomed our program into their businesses, organizations, and sometimes even their homes!
Wellspring is committed to facilitating the kinds of community engagement opportunities that are mutually transformative. We believe that integrated and intentional community is not just good for the I/DD population, but is good for the whole community. The inclusion of people with disabilities also offers many benefits to communities themselves. Communities miss out on valuable voices and perspectives when people with disabilities are left out. They are deprived of co-workers, volunteers, mentors, and friends who offer new ways of thinking about, and navigating, the world (Administration for Community Living, 2022).
“It really helped me learn more about myself and become better when speaking with others which is something I have a hard time doing. It helped me gain more confidence when talking which is something I will keep forever.”
- Regis Jesuit High School Student (Immersion Experience)
