Some of the activities offered at Vanguard are participating in arts/ crafts, games, movies, and socializing with peers. Paid work opportunities that are available include light janitorial duties, preparing documents to be shredded, and shredding of documentation. Vanguard has a Community Inclusion Specialist that is dedicated to taking our clients out into the community to participate in outings that include going to the library, shopping at local stores, bowling, dining out, going to the park, fishing, and various other activites catered to each individuals choice. 

People with disabilities that enjoy exploring and developing new hobbies and friendships will find Vanguard to be a satisfying and enjoyable environment.

For many people with disabilities this is a  new opportunitity to explore friendships outside of their group home and try new activities.
