Adapted Institute
What is Adapted Institute?
Adapted Institute is a program that enables young adults with special needs to more fully enjoy the institute experience through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Volunteers will pair up with a buddy at Institute, engage in conversation, share insights, and serve in whatever way their friends need to have the best experience possible and learn about Jesus Christ together
