🎨 The individuals from EQUIP and New Horizons had a wonderful time visiting Spirit of Huntington Art Center’s ArtABILITY ’26 exhibition! 🖼️✨

We were especially proud to see some of our EQUIP and New Horizon team members’ artwork featured in the exhibition!

During their visit, EQUIP members explored careers in the arts, learned about job responsibilities, and discovered opportunities in this creative field. For our New Horizons group, the visit was a wonderful opportunity to experience the arts, celebrate creativity, and engage with the community. 💙

We’re so proud of our talented artists and are grateful for experiences like these that inspire self-expression, build confidence, encourage career exploration, and promote community inclusion!

Career of the Month: Budgeting & Financial Literacy!

Our EQUIP team took their financial literacy learning beyond the classroom with an exciting tour of Apple Bank!

The team had the opportunity to meet with Vice President & Branch Manager Mr. Chiran Tulsi, who gave them an inside look at the banking world. They met the bank tellers, explored different areas and departments, toured the safety deposit room, visited the offices and break room, and learned about the different roles and locations within the bank. 💼

Our team members asked thoughtful questions, stayed engaged throughout the tour, and showed great curiosity about careers in banking and finance. They left feeling inspired, happy, and excited about the possibilities! 🌟

A huge thank-you to Mr. Chiran Tulsi and the Apple Bank team for welcoming us and giving our EQUIP team such a meaningful career experience!

🌟👏 Celebrating Our August Employees of the Month: Brendan & Molly! 💙💚

The Center is proud to recognize Brendan and Molly as our August Employees of the Month for their exceptional dedication, teamwork and commitment to the people we support!

Working both collaboratively and independently, Brendan and Molly played instrumental roles in ensuring the successful transition of residents from our Jericho residence to Glen Hills. Their hard work, attention to detail and extensive knowledge of the Center helped make this move possible without requiring residents to temporarily relocate to another home.

Through their leadership, problem-solving skills and willingness to go above and beyond, Brendan and Molly helped ensure a smooth, timely transition that prioritized the comfort, stability and well-being of the people we support.

Their dedication is a true reflection of the values and culture we strive to uphold every day at the Center. 💙

Please join us in congratulating Brendan and Molly on this well-deserved recognition! Thank you both for your outstanding contributions and for always putting the people we support first! 👏✨
