Day Opportunities

Work Opportunities for All

At RCM we believe that every working-age person, disability or not, can work in the community for a fair wage. For working age people we foster and support employment skill building through volunteerism and experiential learning opportunities.

Individualized Day Supports

In 2014, RCM of Washington launched a new and innovative service, which offers those we serve the ability to ‘create their own day’ and promotes ‘person-centered thinking’. Person-centered thinking is a philosophy behind service provision that supports positive control and self-direction of people’s own lives.

RCM’s Individualized Day Supports provides a person served a ‘Community Navigator’ and ‘team mate’ based on matching goals and interests. Community Navigators guide the group throughout the community and act as facilitators and planners to help those we serve accomplish their goals. Community Navigators are trained advocates and work to promote independence with those they serve. All Individualized Day teams are based on a 1:2 ratio.

During intake, those we serve and their circle of support participate in a discovery process which helps us unearth which work readiness, enrichment and community involvement activities best fit their interests and goals.

Conferring with the support system, the person served develops short and long-term SMART goals with the assistance of RCM staff. Smart goals are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely. Progress towards goals is tracked daily. At the end of each day persons served meet with their Community Navigator and teammate to discuss progress towards goals, and praise and polish points.

The main priority of our day habilitation program is foster community integration for people with disabilities. We want people to have the same opportunities as anyone else in their neighborhood and work and live beside their neighbors with natural supports. Currently, we partner with local organizations, such as Food and Friends, Martha’s Table, Bread for the City and several others to provide those we serve volunteer opportunities.
