A New Era for Disability Support
In a world where opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities are often limited, one organization is rewriting the script.
Post-22, a local nonprofit, is making headlines for its innovative approach to education, training, and employment for adults over 22 with developmental challenges. Their mission? To empower individuals by tailoring support to each person’s strengths and passions, creating pathways to independence and fulfillment.
Inside Post-22: Personalized Training and Real-World Impact
Unlike traditional programs, Post-22 offers
customized vocational training that goes beyond basic skills. The organization works closely with participants to identify their unique abilities and interests, then matches them with internships and employment opportunities that fit. According to Christine, a program leader interviewed by The Lobby Observer, “It’s a vocational pathway for stimulation and for learning. I’m really proud of this. We have all these internships waiting for the next five people.”
This hands-on approach means participants aren’t just learning—they’re actively contributing to their communities. From internships at local businesses to creative fundraising events like golf tournaments and coffee socials, Post-22 is building bridges between disabled adults and the wider world.
Community Support and Growing Momentum
Post-22’s impact is amplified by strong community engagement. Fundraising events at venues like the Hopkin Country Club and local coffee shops not only raise money but also spread awareness. “It’s really about word of mouth and hosting events like Ben’s Beans,” Christine explains. These efforts have helped Post-22 become a recognized force for inclusion and opportunity in the region.
Local media coverage and social media buzz are further fueling the nonprofit’s growth. As more families and businesses learn about Post-22’s work, demand for their services is rising—and so is their capacity to help.
Why This Matters: A Model for the Future
Post-22’s success highlights a critical shift in how society supports disabled adults. By focusing on
individual strengths and
community integration, the organization is setting a new standard for disability services. Their model could inspire similar initiatives nationwide, offering hope to thousands who want more than just care—they want a chance to thrive.
For families, educators, and advocates, Post-22’s story is a reminder that meaningful change starts at the local level. With the right support, disabled adults can achieve independence, purpose, and pride.
What’s Next for Post-22?
As Post-22 continues to expand, the team is looking for new partners, volunteers, and donors to join their mission. Upcoming events and internship opportunities promise even greater impact in the months ahead. For those interested in supporting or learning more, the organization’s website offers detailed information and ways to get involved.
Takeaway: Post-22 is proving that with creativity, compassion, and community support, disabled adults can break barriers and build bright futures. Their journey is just beginning—and it’s one worth watching.
