ORGANIZATION: Center for Enriched Living

  • 8 people are interested

The Center for Enriched Living exists so that people with developmental disabilities can be fully included in the community, achieve personal success, and enjoy a good quality of life.

We are looking for a registed pet thearpist to bring a therapy dog to our REACH NW program two times or more per month. REACH NW is a year-round day program for adults with developmental disabilities who work part-time, are unemployed, are transitioning into full-time day programming or who want something different from the traditional workshop environment. The program runs Monday through Friday from 10:00am to 3:00pm.

REACH NW is designed to give members the opportunity to continue to learn, make new friends, and succeed in having meaningful experiences during the day.

Contact us today to help make a difference in the lives of adults with developmental disabilities.
