The GO Project is a community-based transition program for students with disabilities who are 18-22 years of age. The program enables students to move beyond the high school setting and finish their education in a college or work environment. The GO Project promotes adult living skills, participates in activities related to all areas of transition and develops relationships with same age peers. Students participate in volunteer work internships, utilize city transportation and access the Austin community for recreation and leisure options. Rosedale is the home campus for the GO Project, but various community sites throughout the Austin community host classrooms for these students.
