In addition to direct work skills and experiences, our agency also offers a program called My Community designed for individuals to gain meaningful community involvement and opportunities to safely explore community-based employment and career options. Participants have the choice to focus in on community involvement and volunteerism through the Community Trek concentration offered in this program, or to participate in various educational career preparation experiences with the goal of obtaining community integrated employment though the Career Trek concentration.
For more information on My Community, please contact the center at 608-723-6659 or email Tori Leeser, Prevocational Case Manager, at tleeser@socinc.org
Members of My Community: In the summer of 2019, a group of five of our agency’s members including individuals from our Prevocational Services and Golden Opportunities Programs began their journey as companion volunteers with St. Croix Hospice.
