Ventures

Ventures’ is a community-based program designed with groups of three individuals and
a Community Team Leader. Ventures’ offers 100% supervision and is solely based in the
community. Each group of individuals is geographically close to each other and many
activities take place in surrounding cities near their residence.

Ventures’ also offers work training in the form of part-time paid employment for those
individuals that are interested in working in the community. Every group participates in
some type of volunteer work: In places such as meals on wheels, local public libraries,
food banks, retirement centers, and churches to name a few.

In Ventures, participants learn safety skills, self-advocacy, mobility training, and
socialization skills. The clients are encouraged to help create the weekly schedule with
their Community Team Leader; incorporating their hobbies and interests.
