It was our pleasure to welcome Congressman Glenn Grothman to VARC this week and have an honest conversation about something that matters deeply to the people we serve: employment choice. 🤝

At VARC, we see every day that employment isn’t one-size-fits-all. Individuals with disabilities deserve access to a full continuum of opportunities- skill-building, supported employment, community jobs, and more, so they can pursue work that aligns with their goals, strengths, and readiness.

We appreciate and commend Congressman Grothman’s leadership in advancing policies that protect those options in Wisconsin and across the country.

🌿 Wellness, creativity, and connection—all in one amazing week!

Our Mauston Day Services group spent time journaling, hiking at Mile Bluff, and creating beautiful scent bags with real flowers.

Moments like these remind us how powerful reflection, movement, and creativity can be. We’re so proud of this group and the positivity they bring each day! 💚

🌼 We’re soaking up the sunshine in Viroqua!

Our Day Services group spent time outdoors planting marigolds—and we can’t wait to watch them grow and bloom.

Fresh air, teamwork, and hands‑on activities make for a pretty perfect day. ☀️🌱

In honor of National Creativity Day, we're showing you this musical flashback! 🎸✨

Our Rock Band for a Day at Kenosha's Music Center Inc was a hit—literally! From jamming on drums to strumming guitars, everyone unleashed their inner musician and got creative together. The highlight? Forming our own band and putting on a mini concert filled with laughter, teamwork, and pure musical joy. 🎤🤘

Music brought us together, sparked new friendships, and created memories that will last a lifetime. Here’s to celebrating creativity, collaboration, and the power of music! 🎶💫

🚆 Safety first!

Our Viroqua Day Services group welcomed a guest speaker from BNSF Railway to learn all about train safety—from watching for multiple trains to understanding how weather impacts the tracks.

Hands‑on learning, great questions, and lots of curiosity made this an unforgettable experience. We love opportunities that build real‑world knowledge and confidence! 🙌

Our Kimberly-Clark interns in the Skills for Work program celebrated graduation this past Thursday! 🎓🎉 We had five students participate this semester in partnership with the Neenah Joint School District and Appleton Area School District. Students worked in a number of areas across the Kimberly-Clark campus, including the Fitness Center, Cafeteria, Custodial Department, and alongside the Grounds team from Vande Hey Company, Inc..

Interns learned valuable workplace and life skills such as communication, teamwork, time management, problem-solving, and professionalism while gaining hands-on experience in a variety of work environments. 🗣️🧠 Throughout the semester, they demonstrated dedication, growth, and a positive attitude, making meaningful contributions to each department they supported.

We are proud of all they accomplished and grateful to our department teams, mentors, and community partners who helped make this experience possible. 💙 Congratulations to our graduates, and we wish them continued success in their future endeavors! 🎓
