At Community Bridges South, we support adults with developmental disabilities in all areas of life, cultivating opportunities for meaningful, fulfilling, and independent life as possible. We are committed to creating an environment where each individual is recognized for their unique strengths, interests, and abilities. We develop individualized learning objectives that encourage personal growth, build life skills, and promote greater independence. We are currently preparing to expand our Day Program to full-time hours and are excited about this opportunity for the individuals we serve. Our goal is to provide engaging, purposeful experiences that combine fun and social activities with individualized and group-based life skills training. Programming may take place both within our facility and throughout the community, including activities such as movies, bowling, community events, volunteering, recreation, and other experiences that encourage participation and independence. We are looking for an enthusiastic, creative, and motivated Day Program Director to lead this effort. The ideal candidate will enjoy working directly with adults with varying levels of disabilities and will bring energy, creativity, patience, and a genuine desire to help others learn, grow, and have fun. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to help shape and grow a program where every individual has opportunities to learn new skills, build relationships, participate in their community, and experience success.
