Pegasus
🤔Our Opinion
This is an excellent program for individuals to learn a variety of skills while having fun and going on outings. They even hold a Film Festival annually where participants get to create short films that are showcased at a gala alongside other films from similar organizations. Registration for the day program must be done through the DSO.
