Mychal’s Learning Place provides support, training, and opportunities to youth and young adults with developmental disabilities to build their independence and pursue their goals and dreams.
A safe and inclusive space for youth (ages 13-22) to thrive and develop essential social and independent living skills while creating lifelong friendships.
Helping our young adults (ages 18-30) live independent and meaningful lives to the fullest extent starting with daily living skills and progressing to job training and employment.
Mychal’s Learning Place began launching our own social enterprises where young adults have the opportunity to overcome learning barriers and can acquire job skills that empower them to succeed.
