CCAP at the Capitol
Advocacy Day 2026
Our Lawrence community was proudly represented by a stellar group of student leaders from Community Connections at Pinckney, who visited the Kansas State Capitol for Advocacy Day, sponsored by the Kansas Council on Developmental Disabilities.
Community Connections
Equity. Excellence. Engagement.
We empower young adults through authentic work, learning, and community connection. Since 2021, Community Connections at Pinckney (CCAP) has provided transition services, job placement, and work experience to hundreds of students.
