“The Road to Possibilities – An Opportunity Fair!”
February 5 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Greenville County Schools, in partnership with The Barbara Stone Foundation, is hosting a resource fair “The Road to Possibilities – An Opportunity Fair!” on Thursday, February 5th, from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. for students with disabilities ages 3-21, their families, and district special education staff. The free event is also open to the public and will be held at the University Center at 225 S. Pleasantburg Drive in Greenville.
Exhibitors will provide information on community resources and services to assist students and families while in school as well as when they begin to plan for navigating the road to an inclusive future after high school. Resources will include information on post-secondary education and training, employment opportunities, recreation and leisure pursuits, independent living, financial literacy, legal planning, etc.
“We had such a positive response from our first Road to Possibilities – An Opportunity Fair that we knew this needed to happen every year,” said Carlene Zierfuss, Transition Coordinator, Greenville County Schools. “When students with disabilities graduate from high school and enter adulthood, the daily supports that they have known and had for their entire educational journey end. We hope to make that journey and transition seamless, so our students have more opportunities and support after they leave Greenville County Schools.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Greenville County Schools again to host Road to Possibilities – An Opportunity Fair and highlight the wonderful resources available in our community,” said Lara Ceisel, Executive Director, Barbara Stone Foundation. “Navigating resources and options after high school can be hard for many, and we hope to make new connections and provide options that make their journey a little easier.”
Food will be provided, and attendees can enjoy live entertainment from disability-related groups in the Upstate.
