Life skills aren’t always fun and games—but just look at the joy and pride our clients show while tackling these tasks at The Haase House. 💪

Through everyday responsibilities, they learn that teamwork gets the job done, build a strong work ethic, and gain skills that transfer directly to their own homes and employment settings. Hard work, shared effort, and real growth in action! 🧡

At The Haase House, we focus on instilling hobbies and entrepreneurial skills that help our young adults build confidence and independence.

By creating with their own hands, our clients discover hidden talents, express creativity, and learn positive ways to use downtime. For some, these projects also offer a possible means to earn money, especially when sensory needs make traditional work more challenging.

This holiday season, our young adults made reindeer blocks and log reindeer, showcasing their creativity and hard work. Proceeds from our craft sales go directly toward activities the clients choose, reinforcing the connection between effort, creativity, and reward. ❤️
