Social Enterprises:
We understand that our day programs cannot develop all of the skills for success in paid employment for everyone.
Our social enterprises - Wishme, formerly known as "Community Threads" and Riverside Grill - provide an opportunity to gain work experience in a business with a safe learning environment. In these settings, participants experience the realities of work as they develop skills that can lead to successful employment.
