Alliance for Independence

Alliance for Independence (website) has worked with adults with mental disabilities in Lakeland for over 50 years. In conjunction with reading Tom Griffin's The Boys Next Door, we will be visiting their facility to take a tour and learn about the work they do.

Our visit will be on Monday, November 8, from 9:10-10:10 AM.

You will have to arrange your own transportation. Carpooling is encouraged. The Alliance for Independence (AFI) is 1.5 miles from Southeastern. (See map.) Please make sure to arrive on time.

If you are unable to attend this field trip, you will need to arrange with me beforehand to do an alternative assignment in order to receive participation credit.
