We discuss the crucial role of respect, acceptance, and empowerment in fostering inclusivity and how music can serve as a bridge in a world teeming with differences.

Our Apprentices, the Reason for Our Mission
Season 1 · Episode 111
mardi 9 mai 2023 • Duration 30:27
In this episode, you will meet two of our apprentices - Emily and Adam. Our apprentices are why the farm exists and their hard work is why it is so amazing! As you listen to them share about their lives and what they love about Homesteads for Hope, think of how many people with I/DD long for the sense of community they describe. It is estimated that 2/3 of the people who qualify for services/programming do NOT have fulltime options available to them. The pandemic disrupted many routines. While most of us are resuming our normal routines, many people in the special needs community remain "stuck at home." We will continue to advocate for this population and appreciate RocVox for helping us share this valuable content. www.rocvox.com
