Life Skills Programs.

B3’s life skills programs offer hands-on learning for people of all abilities, ages 18 and up. From building daily living skills to discovering new hobbies to exploring the local community, our programs are designed to help you grow, connect, and have fun along the way.

8-14 week programs are offered on a rotating basis every Fall, Spring, and Summer.

Clubhouse.

B3 is currently piloting a Clubhouse model—not home, not work, but a “third place” of belonging in the community. It’s a space to connect to resources, volunteer, pursue personal goals, participate in interest-based groups, or simply hang out in a welcoming environment. To become a Clubhouse member as either a person with or without a disability, apply below.

Current Clubhouse drop-in hours: Wednesdays and Fridays 2-4pm | Located in Chapel Hill (address disclosed after becoming a Clubhouse member)

Inclusive Internships.

B3’s Coffee Kiosk at the Chapel Hill Public Library is a transitional employment program (paid internship) that involves allyship, self-advocacy, and work readiness training. Interns develop the skills and confidence to navigate a neurodiverse world—whether as allies or individuals with lived experience of disability.

Their Mission.

B3 is a nonprofit that brings people with and without disabilities together through social, educational, and vocational programs. We create spaces of belonging that advance disability justice, allyship, and inclusion.
