Adeline Johnson
In August 2018, Our Place After School Care started an after-school program for teens with disabilities, the first of its kind in Nebraska. In November of 2022, our program wanted our teens to experience a level of independence gained by productive work that gives a monetary return. We opened a store called Freedom Factory where our teens can sell the items they create on commission.
I created Our Place because my daughter has disabilities. As a mother, I wanted my daughter to experience socializing with other teens, earning money, and learning independent living skills.
We continue to blaze a trail for other communities to provide this needed service for their families who care for teens with disabilities.
