Did you know, based on program offerings and participants, RVPE is one of the largest adults with disabilities programs in Minnesota? Yet, RVPE is the 12th lowest funded program in the state. Here's why.

See how River Valley Project Explore staff and volunteers continue to offer creative ways to deliver educational, self-care, and social opportunities during the pandemic. 

You can help by giving to RVPE Foundation. Your gift will provide scholarships, support new programming, assist with transportation, purchase supplies and equipment and support other program needs. Visit RVPE Foundation for more information.
