Together, they discussed the vital importance of vocational training, community integration and Supported Employment as means to a productive life for Academy members. The Department of Children and Families has earmarked &#8220;Strategic Priority&#8221; funding for 11 Florida Clubhouse programs for Fiscal Year 2019-2020. If approved, the Academy at Glengary would receive vital funding for Career Placement Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We would like to thank Senator Gruters and Representative Good for their efforts to improve the quality of life of Sarasota residents and of all Floridians.
