Pillar Care Continuum is looking for volunteers with a passion for reading who would love to get to know the people with disabilities we serve!

Join "Shaheemah Reads", a unique and inspiring book club led by a Pillar Care group home resident. Bi weekly, volunteers and group home residents gather at the Pillar Care Continuum administrative office, creating a warm welcome space where everyone's voices are heard.

Description

Founded in 1953, we deliver life-affirming services to infants, children, adults and their families throughout northern New Jersey. We provide specialized programs to meet a wide range of educational, therapeutic and social needs of people with more than 100 different disabilities/diagnoses. Our programs and services include: Education: At Pillar Elementary School and Pillar High School, both in Livingston, we offer comprehensive educational and therapeutic programs supported by specialized medical services for students ages 3-21 with multiple disabilities. The schools offer an integrated approach to education stressing functional learning. Day Programs : Two day programs in Orange and Wayne serve individuals age 21 and over with developmental disabilities. The programs provide physical, occupational and speech therapy, sensory stimulation, educational, vocational, social, recreational, and community integration opportunities five days per week. Residential Services: Seventeen community residences throughout northern New Jersey provide around-the-clock guidance, supervision and support to adults with developmental disabilities so that they can enjoy the benefits of life in a secure and homelike setting.
