At TILL we believe in the transformative power of community for one's mental, physical and emotional health. We have dedicated an entire department to plan and coordinate community involvement for staff, individuals and their families. People have the opportunity to maximize their community connections within the parameters of their unique abilities. Healthy competition stretches one's capacity and increases confidence. This can be achieved through well managed sports and recreation. Our dedicated staff goes to creative lengths to get people involved in their community and expand their social connections.

Our community connections department helps build teamwork with staff as well as with those participating in TILL's services. It is always with the same goal, enjoying the world around you by learning about new opportunities, new skills, and developing new relationships. At TILL we believe that work can be fun as well as rewarding in the knowledge that you can make a difference in someone's life. TILL is constantly thinking of new ventures which recognize the value of staff through appreciation events, contests, and the amazing power of team work.

Our bowling leagues, softball tournaments, track and field practices, travel groups, sports training, fitness center, multiple celebrations throughout the year recognizing various religious and cultural holidays are a few ways we bring the community to our programs and our programs to the community. TILL's International Ambassador program in which staff participate in visiting human service programs in other countries is yet another way to bring the world closer together and learn from one another. Our International Ambassadors have visited Denmark, China, Hungary, England and Poland as we plan for next year's trip.
