"Real World Skill-Building Series: Café Confidence Empower Hour *YOUTH AGES 12-24*
Our Real World Skill-Building Series offers three sessions annually for youth ages 12-24 who are blind and visually impaired. Each session has its own theme and includes an in-person workshop plus two virtual “Empower Hour” gatherings leading up to each in-person workshop.
April 9 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm held virtually
The theme for the next session is Café Confidence. During the in-person workshop, participants will practice dining skills through a simulated experience in our Activity Center including navigating to the appropriate table, when and how to order, dining etiquette and payment.
The workshop will culminate with participants putting their skills to use at our “real world” luncheon. Participants will leave with the social interaction, assistive technology, and independent living skills to have more positive dining experiences in the future.
During the virtual “Empower Hour” gatherings, the youth will participate in guided conversations around dining independence."
