Aspire of WNY BRIDGES Program Expansion

June 1, 2023 

 Hello,  

 Aspire of WNY is excited to announce our Community BRIDGES program expansion to Fredonia, NY! 

In recent years, our team has found that the people we support look for structured learning opportunities for independent living in our community habilitation programs. In response to that, Aspire of WNY created Community BRIDGES. 

The word “BRIDGES” in this unique, small-group community habilitation program stands for Bridging Relationships, Integration, Dreams, Goals, and Equal Opportunity for Success. This program is a structured learning opportunity focused on community learning and connections.   

For two years, the Community BRIDGES has only been offered in the Getzville, NY area. Now, after much success, we’re proud to expand the program in Chautauqua County, based initially out of: 

Fredonia First United Methodist Church 
25 Church Street 
Fredonia, NY 14063  

Then, as our participants become more independent, they will work and learn within the Fredonia and Dunkirk communities. 

Please see the attached flyer for more information. 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.  

Thank you, 

Christine Lalka
