COMMUNITY
At PVI, one of our core objectives for our participants is community involvement and inclusion. We believe that for any individual to live a full and well-rounded life, not only are vocational skills important but so are social skills and a sense of community. Being an involved member of the community through various clubs, organizations and volunteer opportunities, outside of our program and the immediate family, provides independence, confidence, team work skills, pride, friendships and joy.
We are extremely pleased that a number of our participants are involved with the following groups and organizations.
