My Possibilities expected to move into its brand new, multistory facility in the first week of May—nearly 10 years after the local nonprofit first started serving the North Texas community.
My Possibilities is a Plano-based nonprofit that offers educational and vocational training services to adults with disabilities. Launched in 2008, My Possibilities had 426 enrolled students in 2017, and expects to serve 700 students at its new campus.
Adopting a university model, the My Possibilities Campus for Higher Learning will offer its students the chance to enroll in courses that best suit their interests and skill levels. Some of those courses cover topics like culinary arts and computer programing.
The campus for higher learning is just one of the buildings My Possibilities plans to open at its 20-acre lot near the intersection of Mapleshade Lane and the President George Bush
Turnpike.
My Possibilities plans to begin construction on its second building, the LaunchAbility Career Center, by the end of 2018, Director Michael Thomas said.
My Possibilities announced in January its merger with LaunchAbility, a job-placement nonprofit for people with disabilities.
“My Possibilities is extremely excited to have LaunchAbility join our team,” My Possibilities board Chair Charmaine Solomon said in a news release. “The alignment of our missions and desire to serve this extraordinary population made this decision incredibly easy.”
