A big part of what we do here at CLI is advocacy and education. Whether it’s a class, a community group, or a company training, we make it a priority to spread awareness about the importance of inclusion, and just why organizations like CLI are important. Last night, we had the honor of presenting before…
On May 8th, we held an open house for our vocational and support services building on Hayward Road. It was great to see members of the community and share our space!

Happy Valentine’s Day! This holiday is so much fun. Love comes in all shapes and sizes, and it’s wonderful to have the chance to celebrate it.
