Meet Christie! She has been part of UCP since 2009 and brings plenty of personality to the program. When it comes to the perfect cozy day, Christie has it figured out she enjoys a good Christmas movie, a warm cup of coffee or hot cocoa, and time to sit back and relax! โ˜•๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽฌ

๐Ÿ’™ **Introducing UCPโ€™s Newly Elected Self-Advocacy Council Leaders!** ๐Ÿ’™

We are excited to introduce the newly elected Self-Advocacy Council leaders representing our Modesto and Turlock programs!

UCPโ€™s Self-Advocacy Councils provide a space for individuals to come together, share their ideas, speak up about what matters to them, and have a voice in their programs and communities.

Through the councils, self-advocates have opportunities to strengthen their leadership and communication skills, learn more about their rights, make informed choices, and help shape activities and decisions that are important to them.

At UCP, we believe every voice matters. We are proud to support our self-advocates as they step into leadership roles, represent their peers, and help make a difference. We canโ€™t wait to see what they accomplish! ๐ŸŒŸ

After retiring from a career in government, Janice wanted to continue making a difference. Inspired by years of supporting individuals with special needs and volunteering with Special Olympics, she joined UCP as a Job Coach in October 2025.
