A new recreational center in west Louisville is making waves by offering support to adults with intellectual disabilities.
Empowering Through Activities
The center provides day programs that teach various skills such as art, virtual reality, and craft-making, with the goal of combating loneliness and fostering a sense of community.
Pillar Organization at the Helm
The Pillar organization operates this innovative center, with a focus on organizing outings to places like parks and museums to provide enriching experiences for its attendees.
Capacity and Availability
With a capacity for 40 students, the center currently has spaces available for those interested in joining. This initiative is part of Pillar's broader efforts, with the Russell Engagement Center being one of four such establishments under the organization's umbrella, all offering similar programs and services. These initiatives are not only beneficial to the attendees but also play a vital role in promoting inclusivity and support for individuals with intellectual disabilities in the community.
