Overview

Mission

The first step in the vocational process is the work activity program which operates as a subcontracting business.

The third step is the individual/direct placement program in which an individual client is hired directly by an employer to perform various job duties. The organization also offers an activity center and community based day program for developmentally disabled adults that teaches daily living skills, wellness activities, advocacy, and other creative outlets. Their community living services program teaches and AIDS developmentally disabled adults how to live independently in the community.
