Community-based Day Programs

A Community-based day programs give individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to be part of the community through employment, volunteering, attending college classes, and taking part in recreational activities.  We use a range of supports to help each person grow, achieve goals and gain a sense of accomplishment.

Support for Employment

Many of the individuals in our community-based day programs strive to find and maintain meaningful employment and earn money.  We’re with them every step of the way, offering a range of support services to help them succeed at work.  We also provide support to employers to ensure that we create successful employment experiences for both the individual and the employer.  Among the businesses that have employed individuals served by Cole Vocational Services are:

• Home Depot
• Lowe’s
• Del Taco
• Taco Bell

Additionally, our day programs offer opportunities to take part in engaging recreational activities and community outings involving:
