WE at UCP offers a wide range of therapeutic activities and community participation opportunities for adults, 18 years and older, living with developmental disabilities.  Programs are planned and organized to provide ongoing support, skill-building, and instructional activities.  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.

The program participants select from a program schedule based upon their individual preferences and interests.  The schedule includes activities held on Friday evenings at UCP's center in Chestnut Hill and on Saturdays in community settings.  WE at UCP is a fee-based program where the program participat pays for the activities he or she is registered or confirmed to attend.
