B3 Clubhouse members had a fabulous day volunteering at @porchchc! Members helped sort and organize inventory by expiration date. We took @chtransit to and from Carrboro—complete with some “party lights” on the ride home 🤪 We love giving back to our CommUNITY!

Happy holidays from the B3 CommUNITY! ✨
This year brought so much growth—from our rebrand and new website to expanded Life Skills programs, the launch of phase one of our Clubhouse model, and expanded disability allyship training with local partners. None of this would be possible without the people who make up and support the B3 CommUNITY. Comment your favorite B3 memory from 2025! ⬇️

Through it all, our core values remain the same: being, belonging, and becoming better together. We are deeply grateful to our B3 members, whose voices, ideas, and leadership continue to shape every new chapter of B3. 💛

Bright futures, built together. 🧭 ✨

On Friday, 12/19, we wrapped up the Fall session of B3’s Navigating Our CommUNITY — and what a powerful way to end.

Each participant created a slide showcasing the tools, skills, and confidence they’ve gained. They chose a real “want to go” or “need to go” destination and successfully planned and completed the trip using free, accessible public transit — navigating to and from independently, with intention and support.

Family and friends joined us as participants shared their journeys, their planning, and their wins. The growth in this room — confidence, self-advocacy, problem-solving, and interdependence — was unmistakable.

Special shout-outs:
Spencer, who drives himself to and from class and is an excellent navigator
Richard, who takes the bus from Durham each week
Ben & Jared, born navigators and natural leaders who helped guide the group
And everyone who tried new places, new routes, and new challenges — together

This is what happens when people are trusted, supported, and given real tools for real life.

We are so proud of this crew. 💫
Onward.

Participants stand and sit in a classroom presenting slides on a large screen, sharing transportation routes and destination plans. One participant presents while pointing to a slide; another presents from a wheelchair. Family members sit nearby watching. The atmosphere is focused, proud, and celebratory.
The last two clips are Richard — presenting his slide with confidence, and the photo he took himself of the bus he rides from Durham to B3.
That’s not just a bus.
That’s planning.
That’s follow-through.
That’s independence and interdependence in motion.
We don’t teach routes for theory.
We build confidence and skills that move.
So proud of you, Richard. 🥹💫

Community care looks like this. ✨

On Wednesday, 12/17, B3 gathered at the Chapel Hill Public Library for an evening of community gift wrapping, creativity, and connection — complete with our B3 hot beverage bar serving up cocoa, cider, and tea.

Neighbors wrapped gifts side-by-side, reused and recycled materials found new life, and warm drinks made space for conversation, joy, and belonging. This is what happens when accessibility, sustainability, and community meet.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, shared time, and made the space feel welcoming. 💫

This is B3. This is community.

One participant smiles while holding a wrapped gift with a handmade tag. Tables are decorated with warm lights and natural materials like pinecones and greenery.

Today at the B3 Clubhouse, members navigated to Target, practiced shopping skills to get some hot cocoa, and then enjoyed the movie Elf!🍿☕️

B3’s first-ever cooking program was a huge success! From following visual recipes to learning kitchen hygiene to grocery shopping, members were equipped with foundational cooking skills!
For the last day of the program, we celebrated with a potluck: members brought items they cooked at home, using our new “B3 Cookbook” 👨‍🍳😍 Thank you to B3 program facilitator, Greg, and OT fieldwork student, Maddy for developing this new curriculum 💯

B3 was honored to be one of the featured organizations at “The Giving Party,” a gathering that raised over $8k funds for our mission through the power of collective giving 💛
