We actively work to develop programming that directly connects individuals to the community in which they live. Regular activities such as volunteering, swimming, or bowling are a great way to connect participants with others in the community and form the foundation for deep and meaningful relationships that have a positive impact on the greater community.
Building stronger communities
To help facilitate good community relationships, we work hard to develop special connections with many local organizations. Many of our participants volunteer with other non-profits, churches, schools or businesses to support these organizations in meeting their goals. These opportunities help our participants develop career-related skills and foster strong relationships with members of the community.
There are several ways our participants volunteer and engage with the community every week, including:
Working with the local food bank to gather food from supporting businesses, make soup for a monthly lunch, pack hampers, and other activities.
Helping at the local library to cataloging books and support other library programs.
Work at local camps to help with farm animals, prepare food for campers and provide help in many other ways.
We strive to create genuine experiences that ensure that our participants will be known, noticed and missed.
