Field Trips
The Junction of HOPE offers field trips for schools throughout Michigan. We have no limit on what age or type of class, just any school with a genuine interest in this project. Our banquet room seating is limited to 50 people, so that is our only real limitation. Our field trip format includes a tour of the restaurant, viewing of our video, question and answer session with some of our special needs employees, founder Linda Diem, or board members, and then lunch. By touring our facility, students and teachers will see first hand that there is indeed a place for everyone in the workplace, including special needs people. Arrival time is generally around 10 am, lunch served at 11:30 am, and departure around 12:30 pm. |

Unlike a sheltered workshop, the Junction provides the opportunity for special needs employees to interact with the public and their coworkers. If your class would like to take a field trip to the Junction of HOPE Restaurant and Banquet Room, e-mail Linda or Andrew at the addresses below.
