Fresh air and movement are great ways to support mental and physical well-being. Last week, a group of VGS participants took time to enjoy the sun with a walk and a game of catch. Special thanks to Cathy, a volunteer from University Hospital for joining in on the fun!

This August marks Christopher’s third year with VGS. In that time, he’s built strong connections with all everyone at VGS – both our staff and our participants. Christopher is instrumental in the day to day of the organization – and stands out as among the most reliable and needed of our staff. He has played a huge role in helping mentor Job Coaches working in and participants enrolled in our Summer Youth Work Experience program. Thanks, Christopher for all you do!
