New Avenue Foundation Meaningful lives for people with disabilities including autism
And Rattlebox Nature Center, Ltd. Animal awareness – Learn about the planet and natural world that surrounds us
Announce an outing to learn about nature
New Avenue Foundation is a parent-led, grassroots, nonprofit organization comprised of families who are interested in creating more community inclusion opportunities and new housing alternatives for people with disabilities including autism.
We have partnered with Rattlebox Nature Center to provide a nature outing to learn about and handle animals for people with disabilities. Rattlebox’s goal is to provide individuals of all ages and capabilities with hands-on experience that will better their understanding of the critical role that animals play in the health and welfare of our world and to dispel false stereotypes and myths regarding their behavior and characteristics. This outing will be a learning experience as well as a hands-on experience where you’ll be able to hold and pet animals.
