| Each summer since 1997, forty
East House clients are given the opportunity to take classes at Rochester Institute of Technology for two weeks. The experience enhances other treatment and rehabilitation services, and encourages clients to pursue education to achieve independence and self-sufficiency. This important program is funded wholly by donations.
Participants enjoy taking classes in art, writing, photography, computer skills, and much, much more.
Classes are taught by over 40 volunteer instructors.
Last year, Greg Soehner, the President/CEO of East House, was
keynote speaker. He cited examples in his own life in which he
found himself starting over and said "Continue to do the right
thing and be open to new opportunities. I wish you much
success."
The 2009 program took place June 1 - 11 at RIT, with
the graduation
held at 4:30 p.m. on June 11th. Click
