Our Partners
The Summer Institute achievements would not have been made possible if not for our many partners over the last six years. Together, we have worked dilligently to provide an intensive multi-week summer program focused on the development of transition-related skills for young adults with disabilities in the Tallahassee community. We, at the Summer Institute, want to extend a huge thank you to all of our previous and current partners. We would not be here without you!
