For 57 years, Venture Together has nurtured growth, opportunity, and joy for people with developmental disabilities, guided by a mission built by families, for families.
Now, Venture Together’s story has been selected as a featured agency on All Access with Andy Garcia! Watch the recently released segment to meet the people and explore the programs that make our community so extraordinary.
One of the most memorable voices in the film belongs to a Camp Venture camper, who describes the activities they love and the calm, helpful counselors who make camp feel special. Their enthusiasm captures something our families and staff know well: having a place where you feel welcome and supported can make all the difference.
That sense of belonging runs throughout the feature. Staff share the joy of seeing someone meet a personal goal, discover a sense of purpose, or simply feel happy and fulfilled in their daily life. They also speak to what families hope for: knowing their loved ones have opportunities to learn, build friendships, have fun, and shape their own futures.
“Stories have the power to change perceptions and break down barriers. We’re honored to partner with All Access with Andy Garcia to help shine a light on the lives, talents and contributions of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, the programs and staff that support them, and the impact of Venture Together on the community,” said Celia Solomita, CEO of Venture Together. “Greater visibility leads to greater understanding, stronger communities and more opportunities for people of all abilities to thrive.”
All Access with Andy Garcia airs on Public Television stations nationwide. This feature is a special opportunity to bring Venture’s story to a broader audience and celebrate the individuals, staff, families, and supporters who make our community what it is.
