FAMILY ENRICHMENT WEEKEND Family Enrichment Weekends (FEW) are events for families that include a child, birth through 21, who has a disability, and is still attending school. Parents attend workshops and discussion groups while the kids participate in fun, age-appropriate activities. The kids are matched with a volunteer, usually college students, to assist them throughout their day. Families must submit their application early as these events fill up quickly. Applications will be accepted on a first come, first served basis, with a preference given to families who have not yet attended an overnight event. Families will be placed on a waiting list after the first 30 applications are received. Families more than 50 miles from the Weekend site are eligible for paid hotel room.
