Our Youth Social & Leadership Group Bowling Night!

Posted on May 7, 2026 by CIL Podcast Team

Our Youth Social & Leadership Group had an amazing time at our recent bowling outing 🎳

Participants came together for an evening full of laughter, friendly competition, and connection. From cheering each other on to celebrating strikes and even the gutter balls 😄, the night was all about building friendships, teamwork, confidence, and community in a fun and inclusive environment.

Programs like this help youth with disabilities develop social, leadership, and independent living skills while creating meaningful peer connections.
