Inclusive Adult Programs

Discover Your Potential with River Valley Project Explore

RVPE-2

Looking for a place where everyone belongs? Lakeville Area Community Education is dedicated to providing inclusive environments through the River Valley Project Explore program. We recognize that adults with physical and developmental cognitive disabilities often face unique hurdles in accessing traditional education and social spaces. Project Explore is designed to remove those hurdles by providing a supportive, adaptive, and high-energy environment.

Whether it’s a classroom setting tailored to individual learning styles or a social event designed to build community presence, Project Explore provides the tools for participants to thrive. Our programs focus on:

  • Community Inclusion: Participating in local events and activities that integrate learners into the heart of their cities.

  • Skill Development: From creative arts to life skills that encourage self-sufficiency.

  • Regional Connection: As a collaborative partnership, we bring together neighbors from eight South Twin Cities communities—from Lakeville to Savage—to create a robust, diverse social network.
