Community Engagement

Life Happens in the Community

Community Engagement supports individuals in building independence, developing meaningful connections, participating in community life based on their interests, goals & preferences. With individualized support, individuals explore opportunities, strengthen skills & become more connected to the communities around them.

Let's Talk About Your Goals

Your Community. Your Interests. Your Goals.

COMMUNITY-BASED. PERSON-CENTERED. PURPOSEFUL.

Community Engagement is built around the individual, not a predetermined schedule or one-size-fits-all approach. Staff support each person in identifying meaningful places, activities, resources, and opportunities within the community that connect to their interests and personal goals. Experiences are intentionally planned to build skills, increase independence, strengthen relationships, and support greater participation in everyday community life.
