As you may know Cesar and many of his friends have aged out of school and need a place where they can continue to learn and grow. Help Northern Lights Special Olympics Agency/ Shining Abilities find a home so we can provide services for all our friends. We need a place with:

*classroom for Vocational training and Day program

* gym for exercise, sports practices, host home games

*kitchen for daily living skills and cooking classes .

Our goal is to become a full service agency that helps our members thrive and reach their full potential, by providing group activities, sports, Special Olympics competitions, daily living and vocational skills for those who want to get a job, and learn the skills for self care and to be more independent, fun and friendship. Please consider donating to our cause so we can open THIS fall. Thank you for your support, no amount is too small and our gratitude will be seen in the smiles of our friends.

Shining Abilities' mission is to promote a safe and positive environment while empowering our friends to see their unique and limitless potential. Through recreational and life skill opportunities, Special Olympics, and vocational based day programming we will encourage each other to celebrate our strengths and shine within our communities.

Shining Abilities vision is to provide services to enhance our friends involvement in their community and lead fulfilling and productive lives while entering into adulthood. This will be accomplished by offering a variety of programs to support continuing education and life skill development, promote whole body wellbeing, and socialization. All while inspiring our surrounding communities to see the value we all have to provide.
