Did you know? Your meal at TERI Common Grounds helps advance the TERI Campus of Life mission. 💙

Every time you dine with us, you’re helping create opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through TERI programs like the Vocational Internship Program (VIP). VIP provides paid work experience, opportunities to build new skills, and the chance to explore career paths.

You can see that mission in action right here at Common Grounds. Bryan is growing his culinary skills through his VIP internship, gaining hands-on experience in our kitchen and developing valuable workplace skills. 👨‍🍳☕️

Next time you stop by, say hi to Bryan! 👋
