Proceeds from the Katy Wine Fest will directly benefit The Brookwood Community’s ongoing training and outreach programs and to continue the growth of the Center for Learning to share Brookwood’s model with others.  As a result, Brookwood will no longer be the exception to the rule in the broader field of disabilities, but will be a new norm enhancing the lives of adults with special needs across the nation and around the world.

Brookwood is currently developing and testing new training curriculum for our next generation of teachers and team members.  It is their plan to make these resources available to share with other organizations over time.  Brookwood is also seeking to augment its hands-on, working internship program, acquainting more students from around Texas and beyond with the Brookwood model.  This kind of community-wide sharing produces an exponential ripple effect across the world, as its model is shared and replicated.  In addition, quarterly Network Days at Brookwood offer peer organizations a two-day Brookwood experience including one-day intensive seminars, to foster collaboration to advance and share knowledge, techniques and visions in the field of caring for adults with disabilities.
