Listen in to this interview with Mr. Mike Sweeney, board member for Endeavor 21+ at the Threefold Community.

Mike Sweeney is a Self-Direction Community Developer focused on jobs and housing that result in "Interdependence Communities for the Developmentally Disabled" in New York. He is exploring how Blockchains and Crypto Assets can support the Developmentally Disabled, and he is a supporter of Cornell Blockchain. As the father to Biodynamic Farmer Dustin Sweeney, his passion is driven by creating #AeternusUmbra (shadow forever) for Dustin Sweeney and his friends.

Mike is also on the Parents Committee for ArchCare @ Saint Teresa on Staten Island, which is a pioneering Special Needs community founded by the Archdiocese of New York and Cardinal Dolan.

The mission of Endeavor 21+ is to make possible a self-sufficient and positive future for adults of all abilities, including those with developmental delays, learning challenges, and sensory imbalances, to thrive in typical work and social settings. To this end, Endeavor 21+ provides an innovative “Learn. Work. Live.” community in a safe and integrated environment. We emphasize the healing nature of practical work, artistic activities, and caring for others. Our young adults learn and work on a farm, in craft shops, and in serving the 150+ elderly residents in our community. This innovative approach recognizes the potential of each individual, and we support guiding their journey toward self-development and independent functioning in the world.
