Adult Programs
adult life skills
This program is for adults aged 19 and over who are interested in continuing to practice life-skills. We offer:
• One-to-one individual support
• Small social group activities
Each adult develops a plan to be successful in reaching specific goals in community settings. Adults enjoy fun, skill-building activities with Community Inclusion Support Workers who are suitably matched with each person for the best possible outcome. Average hours of service are 4 hours per week.
To access Adult Life Skills, referrals are required from Community Living BC (CLBC). Please call CLBC and talk to a Facilitator at 604-981-0321.
stage (supporting transition adult group education)
STAGE is a transition service for young adults (ages 19 to 26) who have completed high school and are looking for continuing education opportunities.
This time-limited program is designed for individuals who want to improve their academic, vocational and life skills. The average period an adult would be part of this program is 1-4 years, at which time they would access alternate services or employment opportunities. This service is best suited to those who wish to further their independence through community-based activities and do not require one-to-one assistance.
The program offers small group classes such as:
• Work experience/Volunteering
• Broadcasting/Social Media
• Woodworking
• Property Maintenance

• Cricut Design
• Dance/Yoga/Meditation
