These students have the opportunity to enroll in a range of courses that fit their interests and abilities, such as clerical, horticultural, and food service classes. When students have mastered skills in the classroom, they are paid to work part-time here at Grafton, or they can work off-site through our Community-Based Education course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Community-Based Education course has helped dozens of students to gain real-world volunteer and work experience out in the community. Grafton collaborates with many businesses and organizations in Virginia, including restaurants, warehouses, retails stores, and plant nurseries. All of our students receive payment through Grafton\u2019s stipend program, while participating businesses and organizations benefit from the work of our student volunteers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grafton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/Grey.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grafton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/Grey.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12684\" style=\"width:425px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grafton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/Grey.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.grafton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/Grey-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.grafton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/Grey-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pamela Kuehl, Executive Director, Winchester<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grafton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Kent_4716-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"913\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grafton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Kent_4716-1-1024x913.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grafton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Kent_4716-1-1024x913.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.grafton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Kent_4716-1-300x267.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.grafton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Kent_4716-1-768x684.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.grafton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Kent_4716-1-1536x1369.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.grafton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Kent_4716-1-2048x1825.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kent Houchins, Chief Operating Officer, Community-Based Program<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ruth Birch School<\/strong><br>120 Bellview Avenue<br>Winchester, VA 22601<br>540-542-0200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ADAPT<\/strong> <br>407 Elm Street<br>Winchester, VA 22601<br>540-722-9172<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Admissions:<\/strong><br><br>888-955-5205 (ext. 5000)<br><a href=\"mailto:admissions@grafton.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Admissions@grafton.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grafton\u2019s Winchester-area services include a therapeutic day school, an activity program for adults (ADAPT), and community-based group homes for boys, girls, and adults.
