Overview
Mission
Provides vocational training and rehabilitation for developmentally disabled adults in siskiyou county, California.
What it reported doing in 2024
The organization's work activity program employes workers in three different fields where they learn various employment skills. 1) work services - employs workers on-site and off-site in wood production, landscaping, and janitorial services where they learn skills associated with those vocations. 2) recycling services - employs workers at the organization's state certified recycling center where workers learn to operate machinery, customer service skills, how to dress for outdoor work, and to have access to their communities picking up recycling. 3) community endeavors - a community integration training (c.i.t.) program that focuses on work skills, personal and social skills, and community based activities. The goal is to provide clients with work experiences that will assist them in obtaining meaningful employment within the local community. This is accomplished by providing clients with actual work such as janitorial, mailing services, shredding, mobile snack box services and marble set assembly. The organization also focuses on social activities that include arts and crafts, sewing, cooking classes, and woodworking projects. In addition, they provide clients with meaningful local volunteer activities within the community.
