PASSAGE USA

As we reflect on another incredible year, we are so proud of everything our students accomplished. This year was truly a success, and so much of that success is thanks to the amazing groups and community partners who came out to support our students along the way.

Throughout the year, our students learned about building healthy relationships with themselves and others through counseling and our GAs, practiced individualized independent skills in daily life with OT and Rec Therapy, explored employment equality with Campus Civitan, practiced basketball skills and simulated a doctor’s office appointment with EPIC, and learned how to care for a garden with Gulf Scholars and Sustainability at South.

These experiences helped our students grow in confidence, independence, and real-world skills, and we could not do it without the partnerships, encouragement, and support from our community.
