When school ends for adults with intellectual & developmental disabilities, what comes next?
For 30+ Wake County adults, the answer is a Life Experiences scholarship — and a chance to truly thrive. See how in this month's newsletter.

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month — a time to celebrate people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and recommit to building communities where everyone can fully participate and thrive.

Because of a Life Experiences scholarship, D is able to attend a local day program—where he’s building life skills, forming close friendships, and discovering new confidence. 💙

From performing in plays and variety shows to learning empathy and caring for others, D is thriving in ways his family once only hoped for.

Your year-end gift helps make stories like D’s possible. Support scholarships that open doors to connection, purpose, and joy for adults with I/DD.

Give before December 31: lifeexperiences.org

🎄✨ What a joyful evening at our Life Experiences Holiday Gathering last week! ✨🎄

We loved seeing adults with I/DD, families, and caregivers come together to celebrate the season—sharing pizza, cookies, smiles, and plenty of holiday cheer (with a special visit from Santa 🎅). It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with friends and welcome new ones into our community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so special. 💙

We’re grateful to be part of such a warm and inclusive community—and we look forward to many more moments like this in the year ahead!
