PowerUp Club: Supermarket, Vet and Bakery

✨ After the successful launch of our summer Bakery Series, we’re excited to introduce the next step in our journey: the Supermarket & Vet Series! 

This program is a unique mingle of life skills and vocational skills, offered in a small group setting with 1:1 support from teacher, staff and volunteers. Through fun role-play and hands-on activities, students will pretend to work in a grocery store, bakery, and veterinary clinic—taking on roles such as cashier, stocker, baker’s helper, or pet caretaker.

While practicing these “real-world” jobs, students will also build everyday independence (money skills, teamwork, communication), strengthen friendships, and gain confidence in a supportive, playful environment.
