Adult Day Programs

Adult Day Programs are designed for adults over the age of 21 and provide a safe environment for work and training in vocational skills. 

Each participant is trained in vocational skills to help them work towards independence and personal growth. These valuable skills are learned through in-house contracts and projects for local businesses. These adults earn money as they progress towards employment in the community.
