The mission of the Sunshine Social Club is to empower adults with intellectual disabilities, who have goals for supported or independent living, by creating social, educational and community opportunities.
WE BELIEVE --
Social involvement is linked to successful employment, independence, self-confidence and inclusion.
Friends are the sunshine of life.
Learning is a life long process and the knowledge empowers.
Community involvement creates a higher quality of life and opens new doors.
People with intellectual disabilities who continue to learn new skills develop supportive social networks and who are integrated into their communities have a greater chance of successfully living in a supported or independent setting.
A community of individuals with intellectual disabilities can be an inclusive part of the community-at-large and add to the fabric of society.
OUR GOALS --
We are creating educational opportunities for adults with intellectual disabilities that
- Nurtures greater independence
- Promotes self-confidence
- Develops skills that aid employment
- Teaches skills necessary for supported and/or independent living
We will pursue small business opportunities for our members and one day, we WILL build a community for adults with intellectual disabilities in Boone County.
