ABOUT ASCEND ACADEMY

CEO of Ascend Academy,
Ascend Academy’s ultimate goal is to provide a loving and healthy environment that generates feelings of inclusiveness, accomplishment, and self-worth. Our services will be provided in a fun, loving and nurturing way using all available modern innovations to prepare members to not only thrive in the environment around them, but to enjoy all their community has to offer.
Ascend Academy aspires to become an example of how services can be delivered to
members in a fun and individualized way that promotes access to the community in terms of leisure and vocational opportunities; i.e., leisure day trips for enjoyment, but also meaningful training & internships that lead to vocational opportunities. As Ascend’s CEO I believe that every person should enjoy a life with purpose and members should
be enabled to reach their maximum potential.
Sincerely,
Jodi Dougan
CEO
