Do you love to take photos? Maybe you are a professional or maybe its your hobby or maybe you are a teen who is building their portfolio before college. Whatever drives you to want to take natural and spontaneous shots--- THIS is the perfect opportunity for you!
We work with young adults with a wide range of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, such as Autism. We hold events in the community at different locations and also meet up at free community events, helping to create a safe space for everyone to enjoy new experiences, meet new people, and make friends! It can be difficult to be social after highschool ends, and this is where Griffin's Place comes in!
We hold a number of events throughout the year that we would love to have more professional photos for. We often set up a fun photobooth with a polaroid camera or want to capture those amazing moments when someone's eyes light up as they learn something new for the first time. We share our photos on our website, our blog, and other social media sites, but also offer copies to the particpants so that they can remember the day without having to worry about taking pictures themselves, whcih can take a person out of the moment!
You can serve with us for just a few hours a month or on a more regular basis, creating a fun and safe environment for all attendees! We're happy to work with teens, adults, and seniors--- no one is excluded from being able to join Team Griffin!

Mission Statement
Empowering young adults with intellectual / developmental disabilities with opportunities to engage in community activities.
Description
We are a Washington County group that focuses on young adults, mainly ages 14-25, with intellectual/developmental disabilities, working to help them make the transition into adulthood. We both create unique events that are designed to support those with disabilities and invite the general community to join us, or go to public events as a group, as to encourage independence. We actively seek to help young adults form a community and make friendships, as it can be very isolating for people with disabilities after they leave school or their family home.
