This program is modelled after a program our founder, Kim Kaczmarek and colleague, Mindy Cohen created at Sleepy Hollow High School called, SHADE (Sleepy Hollow Academy for Disability Education). This highly successful program was a peer mentoring program that recruited, hired and trained neurotypical high school students to mentor students with special needs within the school district in the form of a social/recreation program. The programs were held at a simulated apartment in the community called “Keeping It Real in the Neighborhood”, which Kim and Mindy created as well. Sleepy Coffee, Too After Hours will feature young people over the age of 21 coming together in our cafe after hours to enjoy social and recreational activities such as movies, art, cooking, dance parties and guest speakers.
