Leisure Programs

Partnership Resources seeks to build leisure opportunities in the community that allows clients to meet other people with similar interests and make new friends. Common interests include aerobics, ceramics, water color painting, books, and other leisure pursuits.

Within leisure programs at Partnership Resources are also ample opportunities to do volunteer or community service work. Volunteer work provides an outlet for those clients who are not interested in employment options but do want to contribute to the community and earn the respect that performing community service offers. It is also a way for people with disabilities to connect with non-disabled community members in a natural setting while sharing a common purpose that helps to build relationships.

Senior Programs

The senior initiative began with the simple recognition that the needs of seniors differ from people in supported employment. Seniors face issues associated with aging and transitioning from work to pursuing other interests. Partnership Resources' staff provide daily support to help the transition to retirement smooth while focusing on providing choices that are reflective of the individual's interests, needs, and preferences. It is exciting to see seniors making a successful transition and pursuing their interests.
