Wildcat Friends
- Wildcat Friends
- Wildcat Friends, a part of the Friends Project/Portsmouth School Department, allows young adults with developmental disabilities the opportunity to experience college. On Wednesdays from 3:00-8:00 students with disabilities come to campus to experience a class geared towards their specific interests, a recreation activity and a dining hall experience. Students from the Department of Recreation Management and Policy, Therapeutic Recreation Option will be working with the students throughout the program. Collaboration with the UNH Thompson School Community Leadership Program allows students the opportunity to be involved in a community service project. A partnership with Residential Life will provide fun recreation experiences with a variety of dorms. The overall goal of Wildcat Friends is for young adults with disabilities to experience college in a meaningful and stimulating way that would allow them to interact and make friends with college students, discover a lifelong love of learning and have an experience that is typical of their peers that they are proud of.
