Hello, Summer! ☀️

The first day of summer is this weekend, and at VIP, that means it's time for some of our favorite work experiences of the year!

Our clients are hard at work building skills and confidence through a variety of summer employment opportunities. From landscaping and grounds maintenance to vehicle detailing and car washing, each job provides valuable hands-on experience while helping individuals discover their strengths and interests.

Summer is also the perfect season to focus on wellness. Through our partnership with the CRIM Fitness Foundation, clients participate in training programs that promote healthy eating, physical fitness, and lifelong healthy habits.

We're excited for a season filled with growth, opportunity, and achievement as we continue breaking the barrier for employment, one experience at a time.

Not all employment barriers are visible. While some people face obstacles like transportation or education, many individuals encounter disability-related challenges that often go unaddressed. At VIP, we’ve made it our mission to shine a light on these barriers and create solutions that empower people to succeed. From job training to workplace support, we’re committed to building a more inclusive workforce where every person has the opportunity to reach their potential.

We’re feeling incredibly grateful after such an amazing day at our VIP Swing Into Action Charity Golf Tournament.

To every golfer, sponsor, volunteer, donor, vendor, and supporter — thank you for showing up, supporting our mission, and helping make this event so special. Your generosity, kindness, and enthusiasm mean more than we can put into words.

A special thank you to our amazing photographer Mike Powell - Biography Photography for once again capturing all of the memories from such a wonderful day, and to The Dunk Tank Company for bringing so much fun and energy to the outing. Your support helped make this year’s event even more memorable!

Because of all of you, we’re able to continue making a difference in our community, and we truly couldn’t do it without your support. We are beyond thankful for everyone who helped make this outing such a success, and we’re already looking forward to next year!
