Summit Future Foundation
Community Engagement Services
Providing youth and young adults who experience developmental disabilities the opportunity to lead a meaningful and inclusive life through engagement in inclusive and community based social and leisure experiences.
We facilitate seven programs that are uniquely designed to meet the social and emotional needs of group participants by engaging them in diverse approaches for social connection and recreational participation through community based outings.
The goals of our community engagement services are to actively engage individuals in activities that support what they need to be successful in forming relationships with peers, accessing inclusive community social activities, and safely navigating integrated settings.

Young Adult Connections
A community based recreational group focused on helping young adults access their community for leisure purposes while also building and maintaining healthy relationships with peers.
Young Adult Connections: Evenings
A social group designed for adults with developmental disabilities who work during the day. Meeting on select Friday evenings, participants explore Kansas City while building friendships, social skills, and self-advocacy in a supportive, inclusive setting.
Teams Tuesday
A social group for adults who love all things gaming. This group will be getting to know each other while playing a wide variety of games and engaging in team-building activities. We have board games, card games (Uno, anyone?), as well as Family Feud, The Price Is Right, plus MANY more. The participants will decide during these sessions what they would like to learn and/or play.
Peer to Peer After School Social Club
A youth social group that meets Monday through Friday during after school hours and provides participants the opportunity to engage with peers who have similar interests and ability levels while improving their own social, self-management, and adaptive skills. Individuals in this program will enjoy weekly themed activities, crafts and construction, and an introduction to cooking and home management skills.
Saturday Socials
A community-based recreational program designed to provide youth with the opportunity to participate in a wide range of community outings while also making friends and building relationships with their peers.

Summit Social Center
In July 2023, we opened the doors of our new social and recreational facility, affectionately named the Summit Social Center. Our larger space is designed to foster an environment where those we support can mingle and socialize with friends while also learning new life and self help skills.
Make This Work Possible
Every social outing, employment placement, and life skills session is powered by community support.
