SunUp ARC offers Youth Outreach for developmentally disabled

VERO BEACH — SunUp ARC is delighted to offer the second semester of Youth Outreach, our informative, free program for young developmentally disabled individuals.

Twice a month we will provide respite care for non medwaiver individuals between the ages of 15 and 22. Our respite care program is a fun social activity, featuring classes on computers, arts, crafts, and cooking, just to name a few.

Again, we would like to thank John’s Island Foundation for making this course possible through their generous grant to SunUp ARC. After offering the course for four months, our professional staff has more detailed insight into what classes are not only of the most interest to the students, but also what are the most beneficial to them.

The sessions are held at the west campus (previously Sun Up,) located at 2455 5th St. SW in Vero Beach.

Space is limited to 15 individuals. Applicant is subject to certain criteria.
