Getting to know YOU!
This month at Able to Serve (ATS), our social skill focus is “Getting to Know You.” As we step into 2025, our participants are embracing new classroom settings, forming fresh friendships while nurturing the meaningful connections they built throughout 2024.
We’d love to introduce you to Jennifer, who has been brightening our ATS family since 2013. A lover of springtime, Jennifer finds joy in watching nature bloom into life. Her favorite things include enjoying a good pizza, taking exciting trips to Dollywood, and watching the classic “Home Alone.” When dreaming of the perfect getaway, Jennifer envisions peaceful time spent in the mountains. In her own heartfelt words, “I love Able to Serve because I get to be with my friends, learn and laugh with them and participate in fun activities.”
Our Foundation and Purpose
We want YOU to get to know us better – whether for the first time or as a renewal of our connection. At our core, we believe every person, regardless of their abilities, is created by God to live a full life. Our vision reaches toward a world where people with disabilities reach their potential in a community that truly values and accepts them.
This vision drives our mission: equipping adults with disabilities to be independent and connecting them with opportunities to serve others in their community. Through opportunities to learn, grow, lead, and serve, our participants engage with life and truly thrive.
Our Approach and Future
Success requires a supportive environment, which we provide through our structured day program. Here, participants:
- Develop greater independence while continuing their education
- Face new challenges that foster growth and maturity
- Learn to take responsibility for themselves
- Become community leaders through service to others
Looking Forward
As we look to the future, we’re excited about our plans for growth. Our dream of a new facility will allow us to multiply these experiences and welcome more participants into our program. This expansion represents more than just a physical space – it’s an opportunity to touch more lives, create more connections, and build an even stronger community.
We invite you to be part of this journey. By following and supporting our growth, you become part of a mission that transforms lives and strengthens our community. Together, we can create more opportunities for adults with disabilities to learn, serve, and thrive.
Join us as we continue to grow and create a world where every person has the chance to reach their full potential.
