Team Woofgang & Co

Team Woofgang & Co. was founded in 2017 by Kelly Maffei, Amy Stern and Kris Burbank, three Fairfield mothers of adults with disabilities looking to provide daily purpose for their young adults about to leave their state provided educational programs. Their mission was to provide job-skills and vocational training for disabled adults who had aged out of public school system support.  It became imperative to provide a solution that was non-diagnosis specific that met the individual where they were ability-wise. Their concern was the lack of programs and services available for their loved ones after they turned 21. While individuals with special needs receive an abundance of support during their primary and secondary education – such as educational, social, and transportation services – these resources abruptly come to an end after public school system support ends at 22 years of age. Our mission serves to bridge this gap by providing individualized vocational training, lifelong learning, and social opportunities to adults with a wide range of intellectual and developmental disabilities, free of charge, and support their families and communities to help them live the fullest of lives through our two-tiered curriculum. We achieve this through the utilization of baking and selling dog treats and other novelty items. For more information visit woofgangco.org.
