In July, Spirit staff member Julie took a trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama to say hello to our participants and Host Employers in the area. During her visit, she had the pleasure of meeting participants from Colombia, China, Jamaica, Mongolia, Thailand, and Turkey and touring the bustling restaurants where they work.
One Spirit participant helped her cool off from the summer heat with a delicious hand crafted milkshake at one of our Host Employers in Gulf Shores!
Gulf Shores is a family friendly beach town that has a lot of fun local attractions such as OWA Parks & Resort (which includes a large waterpark!), the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, Gulf Shores Wetlands Nature Park where guests can rent bikes at no cost for the day, and, of course, beautiful white sandy beaches! For those looking to experience a blend of adventure, wildlife, and relaxation, Gulf Shores offers the perfect getaway with its diverse attractions and stunning natural beauty. Some of the Mongolian participants shared they had not seen a beach before and loved taking photos of the beautiful southern sunsets.
Julie enjoyed seeing firsthand what our participants are living and experiencing in beautiful Gulf Shores!
