Support for special ed. programs

Press Release

For the 2023-24 school year, the Greater New Haven Probus Club invites you to participate in our SSNE program, supporting the efforts of special education teachers in Hamden. North Haven, New Haven, Cheshire, East Haven, West Haven and Wallingford. The deadline for applications is Friday, May 5.

Since 1921, the Greater New Haven Probus Club has provided funds and assistance to special needs groups and individuals in our area.

Our organization is initiating a teacher grant program designed to support instruction and/or provide experiences for special needs students that school dis- tricts would otherwise be unable to finance. For example, curriculum materials, educational equipment, adaptive learning materials/equipment and enrichment experiences.

The program will offer 12 competitive grants of $500 and eight grants of $250. We invite community members to sponsor a grant or make a donation.

Also, the Greater New Haven Probus Club has expanded its efforts to help others by providing assistance for at-risk individuals and families, homeless shelters, veterans and incoming refugee support groups.
