For National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, we asked our students at The College Experience what they are most proud of. For Maddy, getting into college was just the beginning of her success.
Since joining the program, Maddy has built a community of new friends and reached milestones that have made her entire family proud. We are so honored to be part of her journey toward independence!

March is National Developmental Disabilities and Brain Injury Awareness Month!
This month, we’re celebrating two powerful words: Inclusion and Belonging.
Belonging is having a job where people count on you.
It’s more than a paycheck - it’s purpose, confidence, and connection.
Meet Joe!
Joe completed the Living Resources College Experience Program and now works at Prime at the Plaza in Albany. He stocks drinks, preps vegetables and meat, and even does deep-frying.
“I love it!” Joe says.
His manager calls him a positive light and hopes he stays forever.
That’s belonging. That’s an inclusive culture and environment.
A place where you are appreciated, respected, and truly part of the team.
Join us on March 26th and donate $26 for the 1,800 individuals we serve!
