Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
EVOLVE
Our E.V.O.L.V.E. program, Expanding Vocational Opportunities by Leveraging Valuable Experiences, combines community service activities with structured life-skills curriculum, job coaching, employment assistance, and person-centered goal planning to provide a road map for vocational and life skills learning opportunities. Through our cooperation with organizations, businesses, and local citizens throughout San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties we help guide neurodiverse individuals and their family support network to realize a greater purpose of a more full life through integrated employment and higher levels of independence.
