February Updates at ACT
We have some exciting updates to share with our ACT community! Songs For The Spectrum has been rescheduled to May 14th at The Franklin Theatre–early-bird tickets accessible before March 25th.
The Titans-ONE Community Grant
We are incredibly honored to share that ACT has been selected as a recipient of the Tennessee Titans ONE Grant from the Tennessee Titans!
This grant supports organizations creating meaningful impact across Tennessee, and we are proud to be recognized for the work we are doing to provide career training and community inclusion for adults with autism.
Funding from this grant will help us continue expanding opportunities, strengthening programming, and empowering our trainees with real-world job skills.
We are so grateful to the Titans organization for investing in inclusive futures right here in our community.
ACT Franklin Van Update
We are so close to reaching our goal of purchasing a second ACT van!
This additional van will allow us to:
Expand community job training opportunities
Increase transportation access for participants
Grow our program capacity
If you’d like to help us cross the finish line, you can donate here:
Every gift brings us closer to expanding independence and opportunity for our trainees!
Community/Job Skill Outings
Our trainees have been actively building job and community skills through meaningful partnerships and outings, including a second Waldo's location in Franklin!
New Partnership Alert!
In January, we started a new partnership with Franklin First United Methodist Church helping to stuff their mailers and complete other admin jobs. Our trainees rocked it! We look forward to many more job samplings with FUMC!
Clothing & Retail Unit--A Fun Month Ahead!
This month we look forward to jumping into our clothing and retail unit. We are excited to sort clothing items by type, size, color, and condition. Trainees will work on identifying clean/dirty, long/short, and ironed/not ironed and more. We will make basic consumer decisions by comparing clothing prices and practice storing clothing, packing for a trip, and more
