Discoveries Day Program

This programming is provided to individuals that would like to attend a program focused more on recreation and leisure supports with some life skill development as well. In most situations,  these are individuals who are not suited for employment

Programming is provided in the areas of health and fitness, computers, life skills training, volunteerism and a variety of other options. Majority of the programming takes part in our community, giving individuals more options and more variety in their day to day lives. In the day program, staff to individual ratios can range from 1:1 to 1:4.

Programming is similar to the Discoveries program but for an aging demographic at a slower and more easygoing pace. Most individuals in the program are in the 50 plus age range. That being said, there are times when other individuals are considered if their needs are similar to other individuals in this program.

Vocational Support Services

The LoSeCa Foundation operates a vocational day program with a number of full-time job coaches to assist individuals to obtain employment. Through a series of vocational assessments, skill development, and job coaching, the individuals are able to work independently within their community. The job coach works with the individual to ensure a smooth transition into the work environment. Gained employment typically cultivates further responsibility for the the individual and a great sense of pride. Individuals are provided with pre-employment training, assistance with resume development and conducting a job search.

Individuals can also take part in work experience to further develop their skills and their interests! Some of this happens right in our thrift store. Once part-time or full-time employment is obtained, job coaching and ongoing support is provided to assist them in their new position!
