About NORTH VALLEY SERVICES - DAYTIME ACTIVITY CENTER

North Valley Services is dedicated to promoting opportunities for persons with disabilities in the environment of their choice. Our goal is to work together with our clients in an atmosphere designed to maximize personal growth and development by utilizing each individual’s strengths. A positive environment is maintained that is responsive to the individual needs of each person. The highest value is placed on human dignity and respect. We offer work development, training and assessment, transportation, day activity centers, and residential care for developmentally disabled adults. We service Tehama, Glenn and Lassen Counties. Individuals enter the Center to find an active vibrant program full of energy. Individuals are engaged in various activities while being assisted as needed by support staff. Choice (or the ability for a person to advocate for themselves) is how individuals decide what activities they will participate in. This choosing of activities occurs on a daily basis and includes, sign language, safety, photography, self advocacy, community awareness activities, vocational opportunities, arts and crafts just to name a few. Community activities occur daily with trips such as: swimming, fishing, and lunches, the Rodeo is always a favorite, visiting historical sites in the surrounding communities, or any other public event. As with all NVS program sites, we are always working on vocational training. Individuals that might not be ready for competitive employment have the opportunity to train and work at a variety of jobs to develop the skills needed for community employment. Job safety and learning a positive work ethic are among some of the skills acquired through this training. The ultimate goal is for the person to be able to participate in community competitive employment.
