Intrepid Young Adults

Daily Life

We work to start our day well with a balanced morning routine before heading into our activities, jobs, classes, community service, or an internship. Each day is guided by personal goals and advocating for the support needed to accomplish them. Typically the day will vary depending on the individualized schedule of each member of our community.

Evening routines focus on building connections on our campus and the community. A typical evening will include meals together, activities, and taking care of homework or household and personal responsibilities. Our team helps coach toward healthy routines that bolster independence and time well spent with one another.

Honoring Neurodiversity

We appreciate and honor the strengths and challenges that come with being neurodiverse. We care deeply about the young adults we partner with in their day-to-day journey. It is incredible to share their triumphs, celebrate their individuality, and walk alongside them through life’s challenging moments.
