Young Adults with Special Needs – New Program and Focus

Sisters Supporting Sisters has expanded its focus and mission to increase employment, social opportunities, and mainstream acceptance of Young Adults with Special Needs by partnering with educators, parents and businesses to seek out and provide entry level training, employment and opportunities for young adults with special needs.

An e-mail newsletter, Young Adults with Special Needs Just Gotta SHOUT
published quarterly celebrates Young Adults with Special Needs and the individuals, agencies and businesses that support them. See Newsletter. Meme Kelly knows first hand the difficulty that this population faces, as her oldest son has developmental delays.

Inner City Women and At-Risk Youth

Sisters Supporting Sisters continues its commitment to inspiring and nurturing women and at-risk youth through its SHOUT principles mentioned above. For the last five years, SHOUT seminars and workshops have been conducted at inner city schools, juvenile detention centers, women shelters, public agencies, and bookstores. The dualistic roles of women in society as nurturers and providers can be overwhelming and stressful at times. And the statistics for failure of at-risk inner city schools are well known by all. Sisters believes that its SHOUT seminars and workshops inspire women and at-risk to be all that they can be in spite of it all and the difficult circumstances in which they may find themselves.
