Today we were pleased to host many of our community partners to celebrate the official opening of newest program for young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The Venture Advancement Center offers transitional programming focused on assisting with the training, education and social skills required to find meaningful employment. We also honored the legacy of Dick Hoyt with a memorial dedication. We welcomed his sons Rick and Russ Hoyt of the Hoyt Foundation who addressed the group on behalf of their family, presenting, Venture CEO Mike Hyland with a generous donation. This donation will enable us to continue to offer opportunities for inclusion.

“Venture is excited to officially open our new Advancement Center and to continue the legacy of The Hoyt Foundation,” said Mike Hyland, Venture President & CEO. “This first of its kind program will open many doors for people just as they have done through their tireless commitment to people living with disabilities.”
