THE FULL LIFE AHEAD FOUNDATION

Throughout the year, we hold at least three overnight weekend workshop retreats at Children's Harbor Lodge near Alexander City, Alabama and other locations throughout the State of Alabama. We present at schools, conferences, and other settings at no charge around the state and nation. For the two-day, overnight trainings, we charge a small fee to get the families and individuals to “buy into” the weekend and process.

We collaborate with AL-APSE annually to co-host a statewide employment conference each year. During this conference topics of training will include a variety of Employment issues such as (Customized, Supported Employment, Self Employment and Entrepreneurship including the use of Social Security Work Incentives). During the three day, two night, conference, we offer 3 concurrent individual and family tracks covering life planning, employment, and community involvement—a map for achievement!

Our goal is to change the systems through collaboration with many of our existing Hope Network and new members we will come to know (such as educators, Vocational Rehabilitation, medical professionals, job coaches, the community in general, etc)!

We want to give families HOPE along with the tools they will need to make change happen for them. Full Life Ahead always has our “hand picked” professionals available at our workshops…the ones with a heart for the individuals and families…the ones who are willing to invest their personal time and space to help individuals achieve results!

These are just a few of the activities we continue to involve ourselves in order to impact and change the course of lives for individuals who might not otherwise take those first steps.
