ThinkDIFFERENTLY collaborated with the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce, along with many community partners to bring the Kid Empowerment Zone back to Kid Venture again this year! Our goal is to empower kids to learn about people of all abilities in a sensory sensitive and supportive way. Children and their families enjoyed the many activities we offered! (April 2019).
