We offer four unique programs that serve the special needs community.
THE BUDDY PROGRAM An individual volunteer befriends a special needs child and provides respite to their families by taking the child on regular outings in the community.
THE ASD/RECREATION PROGRAM Groups meet six times a month for fun activities in the community or for drop-in activities at our facility. The activities are planned and supervised by our ASD/Recreation Coordinator, with the assistance of volunteers. These times in the community provide opportunities for fun and friendship with peers and volunteers. They also provide a few hours of respite for parents and care-givers on a regular basis.
THE HOST PROGRAM A volunteer family befriends a child with special needs and takes this young person out of the home on a regular basis to provide respite for parents and siblings while offering enriched social experiences for the child.
THE SUMMER SUPPORT PROGRAM Summer Support Workers help to supervise group activities throughout the summer in addition to working with children one-on-one. Events are planned in the community with a focus on outdoor activities. Parents receive many hours of respite through the support offered during the challenging summer months.
