The Trellis Center

The Trellis Center provided support services for teens and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Monday-Friday year round through our garden, recreational, and community programs. We provided our high school transitional participants with in-person services where we taught job skills, social-emotional learning, workspace safety and other employability skills, which are important to their overall development in preparation for life after high school. We continued to grow our services by continuing our Social Emotional Learning program which help our participants acquire and effectively apply knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships and make responsible decisions.

We continued our garden and candle program by continuing indoor herb growing and candle production process that is utilized by the high school transitional and adult participants. These products are made in the winter months to be sold locally and through their online store, helping our participants gain technical, entrepreneurial and real-world job skills.
