COMMUNITY INTEGRATION PROGRAM
"God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. (Hebrew 6:10 - 11)
Daily Program for People with Developmental Disabilities
Concern Mission provides the support necessary to enable individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to participate fully in community life. The agency is based on a belief that no person should have to work in a setting that is isolated due to the nature or severity of their disability.
The Community Integration Program (CIP) is designed as a vocational and social skills training program to recognize, develop, and build the necessary skills for disadvantaged young men and women to participate in their community, all at the level at which they choose. Generally, they start the process by volunteering throughout the community at various sites. They continue at their own speed, in line with their desires and abilities, while working toward their own personal goals.
The goal of Concern Mission (CIP) is to offer all available resources for community integration and includes, but is not limited to, improvement in self-help, socialization, job acquisition and/or retention, and learning adaptive skills.
