Project R.I.S.E. Dealership Tour

How Beaver shows up

Project R.I.S.E. is a Forsyth County Schools transition program for students ages 19 years 8 months through 22 with developmental disabilities. The program helps further develop adult living and job-readiness skills along with access to the community, with the goal of increasing independence for a purposeful and fulfilling life. On Thursday, June 4, 2026, the Project R.I.S.E. group came to Beaver Toyota of Cumming for a dealership tour. To say "fun was had by all" is a complete understatement — the group's smiles were contagious, and they spread that enthusiasm to every team member they encountered. The students were inquisitive about dealership life, and their teachers were quick to relate our activities to the life-safety concepts they're learning in their school program. They saw jobs that require customer-service skills, watched our technicians working in real time in the shop, and even learned how vehicles go through Finance and are presented to customers in our Delivery Bays. After the tour, the group took a break and had lunch in Beaver's own café — Feast26. Their time at Beaver was only a couple of hours, but the memories made will last a lifetime.
