The Salvation Army Developmental Disabilities Program strives to provide individualized supports with the mission of empowering individuals to maximize the quality of their lives through employment, community inclusion, and independence within their home communities.
Delaware includes Residential and Community Options/Supported Employment Programs. The Program endeavors to provide each person wit the opportunity to choose where and how he or she learns, lives, works, explores spiritual opportunities and uses leisure time. Within the Residential Program, 50 individuals are supported in individualized home settings. The Community Options Program provides opportunities for the 60 individuals in the program to give back to their community by volunteering with other non-profit organizations and participating in community events. The Supported Employment Program has helped hundreds of individuals find meaningful work in their community.
Each individual is supported to become a full and contributing member of the community. Individuals are encouraged to develop meaningful relationships with community members and natural support networks within the larger community.
