Rising Adults Social Club is a fun, community‑centered gathering where adults impacted by disability come together to build friendships, explore new experiences, and enjoy meaningful social time. Each meet‑up offers a mix of games, outings, creative activities, and shared conversations designed to spark connection and confidence. Guided by Rising Lights Project’s mission to create inclusive opportunities for individuals to learn, laugh, thrive, and engage with the Fox Valley Community, the Social Club provides a welcoming space where adults feel valued, included, and excited to be together.
