The Ability to be Creative at Heart

Jean is a creative; she makes handbags and other art. You may see her laughing in the funky purple LaZoom comedy bus as it drives by in the streets of Asheville. She may be the one in the lane beside you at the bowling alley, perfecting her granny roll.

Goodwill knows Jean well! She is a member of Asheville’s Community Access program and has been for four years. She describes her experience this way: “It’s nice and fun. I like the people!”.

Community Access is a day program for individuals who have diverse developmental abilities – like Jean. Everyone who knows any of the Community Access participants feel enriched by each individual; and Jean is no exception.
