I work at an organization called Aspire Chicago, working with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities as a program facilitator. As the weather is beginning to warm up, I have been searching for some community involvement opportunities for different
groups of individuals here at Aspire to participate in. I came across CCGA when looking for volunteering options and wanted to reach out to see what is available and if it could be a good match. I am happy to give any more information upon your response! </div>
