About Us
We like to be out in the community any opportunity we have!
Vocational Programs
CHECK OUT OUR CREATIONS
Art provides an outlet to communicate feelings. Art is an opportunity to take a picture or an idea in your head and make it into something tangible. With art, the possibilities are endless. Art can create employment for Citizens with cognitive delays. The possibilities are endless!
WE HAVE GREEN THUMBS
Citizens are building independence through learning about and planting fresh vegetables and herbs to be used in their favorite recipes.
The vegetables are grown indoors using hydroponics and grow lights
on raised beds, allowing Citizens to work comfortably.
