The Enrichment Center
Community Access and Volunteering
Create New Connections with your Community
The Enrichment Center at EmployAbility provides daily opportunities for Community Access Groups to volunteer, socialize, and more. Explore the community, cultivate new friendships & natural supports, and practice skills that will increase confidence and self-reliance.
Participants in Community Access Groups have a wide range of interests and capabilities, and we strive to provide a meaningful day for everybody. Volunteering at other local non-profits is a core component of the Enrichment Center program. Participants get to experience the community’s gratitude for helping others. Other times, groups tour local history and cultural sites, visit local nature sites, and enjoy onsite visits from volunteers.
For program participants who use wheelchairs, EmployAbility has hydraulic lift wheelchair vans, so everyone has a chance to explore! Likewise, for those needing additional assistance eating or toileting, staff are specially trained to help.
We hope that Enrichment Center program participants have a meaningful day every day, where they feel that they are positively impacting their own lives and the community they live in.
