Program areas at Creative Works

Residential Services provide support for individuals with disabilities in the individuals' home or in CW Residences, and range from 24-hour support to just a few hours each week. Residental services assist with social skills, community access, health and safety, household maintenance, self-advocacy, and many other needs in order to provide the most comprehensive and therapeutic support possible.
Maine Woodworks is a social enterprise of Creative Works that employs an integrated workforce consisting of people with and without disabilities. All employees earn a competitive wage and work in an environment that fosters both the development and mastery of various furniture-making skills and independence within their work environment. Our wood shop produces bench-crafted, cottage-style furniture built with renewable North American hardwoods and environmentally friendly finishes. Our colorful line of furniture is sold throughout the United States, and proceeds from sales are used to further the social mission of Creative Works.
Community Day Services enable people with developmental disabilities to participate fully in community life and to increase their self-reliance through activities that are enriching, meaningful and goal-oriented. Day services are designed to maximize an individual's ability to manage everyday life activities in communities rich with resources. A variety of skill-building options are offered, in addition to readiness skills, volunteer opportunities, and means of artistic expression, all based upon individual needs.
