WE at UCP offers a wide range of social and community participation opportunities for adults and teens living with developmental disabilities. Programs are planned and organized to provide ongoing socialization, skill-building, and instructional activities.  

Participants select from a program schedule based upon their individual preferences and interests. The schedule includes activities held on weekends and in the evenings at UCP’s center in Chestnut Hill and other community settings.

WE at UCP offers a variety of fun things to do in a supportive environment, a place to develop relationships where everyone is treated with respect, and a time to get together with friends.

All participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from events. UCP does not provide transportation. Information regarding SEPTA’s CCT service is available from SEPTA at 215-580-7145 or on SEPTA’s website at http://www.septa.org/service/cct.
