I love my job. I love coming to work. It's such a good feeling of satisfaction to know you've been able to help make a difference in a child's life. It's not just the kids who have been given a great life through ChildServe. I feel like since I've been given a chance to work here I also believe I'd had a great life through ChildServe.
Supported Community Living
ChildServe's Supported Community Living service provides individualized skill-building services and support to children and families in their community. The focus of the service is to work on skill development that ultimately leads to independence. We work on outcome-based goals that will improve children's living skills.

Goals

Each child's plan includes his/her own specific skills and goals, which may include:
  • Personal cares
  • Home skills
  • Communication
  • Accessing community resources
  • Self advocacy
  • Safety
  • Socialization
  • Transportation, etc.

Individual services

ChildServe provides individual supported community living services. Each child is assigned a staff person who will work with them on individual goals in the child's home or other community-based settings.

Community outings include trips to:
  • Parks
  • Restaurants
  • Public centers
  • Bowling alleys
  • Swimming pools
  • Living skills centers
