To this end, <strong>Endeavor 21+</strong> provides an innovative “Learn. Work. Live.” community in a safe and integrated environment. We emphasize the healing nature of practical work, artistic activities, and caring for others. Our young adults learn and work on a farm, in craft shops, and in serving the 150+ elderly residents in our community. This innovative approach recognizes the potential of each individual, and we support guiding their journey toward self-development and independent functioning in the world. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Information taken from <a href="https://www.endeavor21.org/">https://www
