The Exceptional Adult
Mini-community (or TEAM) program of the Community House offers
adults with developmental disabilities valuable opportunities for
social interaction and recreation.
Started in the 1960s as the "Tuesday Night Travelers", the TEAM
program is one of the longest running services of the Community
House. TEAM Social Club, which
meets an occasional Friday, engages about 20 adults with developmental
disabilities in fun activities, from bowling and movies, to holiday
parties and field trips. The adults help plan the activities
they participate in; for many, TEAM Social Club is their primary
source of socialization. TEAM Craft Club is held
every Thursday, offering 20 adults with developmental disabilities
the chance to make craft projects and have fun with friends.
Attendees include residents of area residential living programs, as
well as individuals living on their own or with their families.
