The Arc of Buffalo County will be presenting a workshop to introduce Shepherds College, an accredited post-secondary school for young adults with intellectual disabilities, on September 20, 2012 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at the First Presbyterian Church Family Life Center.
The workshop will cover academics, vocational training with a focus on the specialty majors of Horticulture and Culinary Arts, life skills, activities and community, residential life, transitioning from high school and home to Appropriate Independence™, and financial aid. As Shepherds College is a Christ-centered school, spiritual life lessons are included in the program and will be discussed during the workshop.
