Building Workplaces Where Everyone Belongs: The Power of Possibilities Highlights
We're back with the Art Program and continuing their journey into the art of cooking! This week, they learned how to make spaghetti, meatballs, and garlic bread in the Honest Weight Food Co-op teaching kitchen.
Thank you so much to Chef Donnie for generously donating his time to teach the class, and to Honest Weight Food Co-op for donating the space so the individuals we support can explore their love for cooking while learning practical skills for an independent life.

This month, Living Resources officially opened its newest After School Program site at North Albany Middle School (NAMS), marking the culmination of two years of dedicated planning and effort. The opening was made even more meaningful as we welcomed two students transitioning from our Albany School of Humanities (ASH) program as our very first participants at NAMS. We look forward to growing our program and welcoming more students in the coming weeks.
Our program provides students with a safe, fun, and welcoming environment where they can engage in arts and crafts, build with blocks, play games, and build friendships. This supportive setting gives parents total peace of mind, knowing their children are in caring hands while they complete their workday.
We currently operate three days per week, with plans to expand to five days as additional staff members join our team. We extend our deepest gratitude to the Albany City School District for their invaluable collaboration and support throughout this journey, and we are excited about the lasting impact this partnership will have on the NAMS community.
