Schott Saturdays

Saturdays are exciting at Schott Center because of the Schott Adult Enrichment Program! From September to May, students and a range of volunteers spend the day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. playing games and creating arts and crafts projects. The Focus of the program is fun and socialization. 

Importance of the Program

Debra Silverman, Director of Programs, stresses how critical this type of program is in the western Broward County area. “There are very few programs like this currently offered to the special needs community. Families worry about the lack of opportunities for socialization for their children." This type of program, which focuses on enriching their quality of life, not only fills this void, but also brings awareness and sensitivity to the young people engaged as volunteers. 

What makes the Schott Saturday enrichment program particularly unique is the quality of volunteers who graciously give their time, energy and compassion to the Center and its clients. Best Buddies + ASL groups from local high schools and other plan the weekly activities.
