A Career Club meets every other week to help increase understanding of key issues relating to employment and the effect of work on Social Security and other benefits.
Day Habilitation is a community-based volunteer program for individuals with developmental disabilities. Individuals participate in internships in order to explore career interest, develop marketable work skills, and/or perform work that is meaningful and rewarding. Rather than being held in a classroom, the learning is conducted at community sites, so real hands on experience is obtained in this “program without walls”.
To be eligible, individuals must:
- Be age 18 or older
- Have a developmental disability (Supportive Employment and Day Habilitation) or Traumatic Brain Injury (Supportive Employment)
