Thank you for your interest in CherishAbility's Peer Connect Program.

Peer Connect features:

• Customized hangouts in small, interest-based groups
• An emphasis on social skills—learning and practicing through fun activities
• A supportive and joyful environment
• Trained CherishAbility facilitators 

The registration form takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, and your thoughtful responses help us customize the hangouts for your loved one. 

After you complete the form, we'll contact you to share information about your loved one's Peer Connect group. 

 

As a participant of this program, your loved one will hang out with their group for one hour, once per week, for four consecutive weeks. On the chart below please select ALL times that your loved one is available. **Please keep in mind that we expect a parent or caregiver to be close by to offer support if needed.**

MULTIMEDIA RELEASE AGREEMENT

Submitted images become the property of CherishAbility and will not be shared with other organizations without written consent of the person(s) appearing in the photo(s) and/or video(s).

CherishAbility reserves the right to modify such images, at its discretion. This agreement also authorizes CherishAbility to store images internally for future reference and reuse.

It is our policy not to credit individuals whose images and/or fruitage have been submitted for use in these publications, unless specifically requested and authorized.

All shared images shall be the original work of the person sharing the images and are not to violate any copyright, contract, or other property rights of any person or organization.

Youth organizations are required to include an Online Agreement and obtain a parent/caregiver signature for all participants who are minors.

Please take some time with your loved one(s) to go over these guidelines if he/she is a minor.

Or mark "n/a" if your loved one is an adult.

As a participant, I acknowledge the Zoom meeting spaces to be inclusive and welcoming for everyone. To hold this virtual safe space collectively, I agree to treat fellow participants and staff with love and respect.

As a parent and/or caregiver, I acknowledge that while CherishAbility is providing programming for my loved one(s), staff cannot take full supervision. Therefore I will not leave my loved one(s) unattended for the duration of the online activity.
