Why Legacy Week Matters:

DID YOU KNOW?

Beaver County is home to over 800 students supported by Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). However, a significant portion of the population remains disengaged from the workforce. 


Legacy Week is designed to address this challenge by offering tools, experiences, and connections that open doors to a brighter future for each participant.

Our Programs

By immersing participants in a college campus setting, Legacy Week provides an opportunity to explore career possibilities, build independence, and develop life skills, all within a vibrant, supportive community. 


This program is a one-of-a-kind experience, offering a safe, creative space where individuals can develop confidence, explore new passions, and build lasting connections for the future. 

Our committment

Legacy Week is a community-driven initiative aimed at building a future where individuals are empowered to live independently and achieve economic mobility. By providing an integrated experience on a college campus, Legacy Week opens doors for participants that  otherwise may not be possible. 


This is the beginning of something bigger. A transformative opportunity for individuals, families, and the broader Beaver County community. 


Legacy Week is a springboard for new possibilities, a celebration of each participant’s potential, and an investment in a brighter future.


Always You.
