Community Integration
The Center provides comprehensive training and support to participants who choose community employment as their vocational goal through the Community Employment Services program. We offer basic job-seeking and interviewing skills classes, as well as individualized on-site training activities.
Our Volunteer Center program allows our participants the opportunity to explore a variety of volunteer options in the community that are meaningful and of interest to them. This enhances the participants’ feelings of self-esteem by learning new skills, and social growth through fostering community inclusion. The Volunteer Center’s notable community project collaborations include: the Rockford Park District, Carpenter’s Place, Lifescape Community Services, Adopt-a-Soldier and On the Waterfront.
