The grant will allow the students of the High Needs Resource Room to continue to operate the classroom business, Brewing Independence. This classroom business has been a staple of the High Needs Resource Room for years now as part of the classes, Vocational Education and Life Skills. We are seeking $155.46 to help maintain the program financially so we can work towards the program becoming independent and self-sustaining.
Many of the students in the High Needs Resource Room are working on improving their prevocational skills and increasing their independence. Brewing Independence is a perfect opportunity to achieve those goals. Brewing Independence would also provide a consistent, and sustainable program that can assist students in learning specific job skills with the goal of transferring these skills to similar job settings.
