Innovative programming for adults with Developmental and Intellectual disABILITIES ​(Adults 18+)​

Farming: Internship
(18+ older)

Wednesdays 9:30am-11:00am
We are thrilled with the popularity of our WORKS programs.
In order to provide participants with individualized hands-on support from the UCR team and instructors s
pace is limited. 
Due to the high demand for the Works programs, participants may only attend one WORKS program at a time.
Session starts May 7- 12 classes
SKIP date: June 25 
Cost: $480 

​UCR WORKS: Farming with The Hines Garden will teach your loved one skills to work in a real farm-to-table farm setting.  Attendees will be taught several skills and practice them throughout the session, while learning about other aspects of farming and healthy lifestyles. 
**Upon completion of the program, if an attendee wants to have an interview, they could possibly be hired to work on the farm!  This is the ultimate internship and job training opportunity. **

This inclusive program takes place at the Hines Garden at 18500 Muncaster Road in Derwood. Is lead by the experienced staff as well as experienced UCR special educators.
