Career & Community Access
In partnership with Jewish Vocational Services (JVS), the Career & Community Access Program (CAPP) provides young adults in the Boston area the opportunity to get a job and start building the life they have always wanted.
CCAP gives you access to HOPe’s Community-Based Day Support (CBDS) and JVS’s excellent career coaching and employment support that thousands of people use to start or advance their careers. You become a member of the House of Possibilities (HOPe) community, connecting you with numerous ways to pursue your personal goals, learn new skills, serve those in need, make new friends, or simply enjoy life in your local neighborhood.
CONFIDENCE TO BE INDEPENDENT
HOPe’s CBDS program offers adults with developmental disabilities vocational, skill building, community integration, and recreational opportunities for up to 30 hours a week. These services are funded by the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services (DDS) and delivered in accordance with its regulations.
Our professional developmental specialists work with each person to help him/her reach their own individual potential while engaging in community activities that are stimulating and enriching. Our highly qualified staff members support each person to increase and improve their social and functional skills, in accordance with their own Individual Services Plan (ISP) that was developed in partnership with DDS, client’s caregiver(s) and HOPe’s staff.
Our partnerships and collaborations with community organizations include: Stonehill College, the YMCA, Meals on Wheels, St. Vincent DePaul, My Brother’s Keeper and more to provide volunteer and job opportunities for individuals to develop and improve the skills necessary for achieving their individualized goals.
