Resident Life
Work
Several of our Residents are employed in the local community, and have been recognized by their employers as outstanding employees of the year – more than a few years in a row! They enjoy being a part of their community and thriving as full or part-time employees.
The Village is located within 3 miles of College of the Mainland where two of our residents have attended classes. One resident completed his technology certification and for the past several years he has had gainful employment at Kohls.
Access to local educational facilities has allowed our Residents to attend classes and enhance their skills to be competitive in the workplace.
In addition The Village has established relationships with area High Schools and even local Universities where we partner to provide healthy life styles and other individualized skills training.
