We need your help. Inflation, supply chain, cost of labor, and other factors beyond our control have added costs that we never anticipated as we developed our plans for the new Stoops Family Foundation Adult Services Building on our campus. We now urgently need $1.5 to complete this much needed space for adults with autism and other related
developmental disabilities.
When completed, we will be able to expand our help for adults on the autism spectrum with additional services in a state-of-the art building, purpose-built to support their needs and celebrate their strengths. We’ll continue to provide the services for which we are known for such as employment training, day training, and supported living instruction. We will also launch a new program with a full-service café that will become a living vocational lab to teach food industry job skills and provide opportunities for employment. We will continue to innovate and create new opportunities in this new transformative space
The Stoops Family Foundation Adult Services building, on The Els Center of Excellence® campus, is targeted for completion in 2023. It will be a dedicated space for existing adult programs that are in high demand for individuals with autism and other related disabilities ages 18+.
