Adult Day Training detailsThe full line-up
Programs at ProjectFREE in Gulfport
Ten programs share one building on 51st Street South and one weekly running order. Some are on a stage. Some are in the studio and the kitchen. Some are about the days and nights around the music, from a place to live to a ride in the morning. Members move between them, so pick the one that sounds like you and we will show you the rest.
Every application starts with a conversation. Call (727) 603-0595 and talk it through with Kim and the team, or fill in the Apply to perform form. No fees are published here. The Life Skills programs sit within Florida’s Agency for Persons with Disabilities, so the call is also where we explain how a place would be funded. You can book a visit first if you would rather see the room.
