Community Immersion


The Community Immersion Program serves as a supportive work environment, similar to the Community Work Program, however the entire service day is spent in the community:

  • Clients work in community businesses and are supervised by job coaches throughout their work days.
  • Jobs typically range from 1-3 hours per day, and are often in the retail, food service, janitorial and manufacturing.
  • Clients spend both work and leisure time in the community.

 

 

In this program, Opportunity Services provides the following:

  • A supportive environment to help realize the goal of independent employment.
  • Work teams consisting of clients with different skills, working together to accomplish a job.
  • Targeted jobs that meet the needs and desires of our clients.
  • 100-percent community integration.

 

Day Training & Habilitation

I like people. I am a people person. I like that I make new friends here. I work beautifully. I get to watch the time because of my breaks at 2:30.
