I am excited to share that this July we are hosting a week-long college
experience at Miami for students who are transition age with disabilities.
This summer experience is the first of future programs that we hope to
develop and grow into a fully inclusive full-time college experience for
students with intellectual disabilities here at Miami.
The goal for this summer is for eight to 10 participants to enjoy and
experience college life here at Miami and help promote independence and
self-determination as they transition from high school. We week will be
full of classes, activities, outings, and fun. We are looking for Miami
students who would be interested in participating in the program as a full
or part-time volunteer. The program will begin on the afternoon of Sunday,
July 12th and end on the evening of Friday, July 17th. Participants and
full-time volunteers will stay in the new Beechwoods Residence Hall on
Western.  There are many ways you can volunteer, from being a roommate with
a participant in the dorm for the week to attending or planning classes
and/or activities during the day.
We are hosting a planning session for volunteers and an informational
session for volunteers, participants, and families during the afternoon and
evening of May 8th.
I truly hope you'll join us this summer to learn, have fun, and help
promote inclusion!
Attached are full and part-time applications for volunteers the program.
