After adults with special needs graduate from high school, they are helped by the school to transition into the local community. Sadly, most are socially isolated and find it hard to participate with large groups of people.
The Rotary Club of Hamburg came up with the idea to form a Satellite Club made up of special needs adults that would help members gain new friendships, develop leadership skills, and help to better the community with service projects. The Satellite Club would do separate activities and community service projects as well as participate with the Rotary Club of Hamburg in their projects.
The Helping Hands Club of Hamburg was chartered 4/1/22. To date, the Satellite Club has participated in Hamburg’s Community Clean up and the Kernsville Dam beautification project. They have held a planning meeting at a local ice cream shop and recently went miniature golfing at Kauffman’s Chicken Ranch.
