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 in keeping with 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.  Individuals are encouraged to contribute to their community through working at food shelters, partaking in sustainable farm projects, and raising money through charitable walks and marathons.

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.

We invite you to watch our video, TILL's Handle with Care Experience, and enjoy this example of true teamwork and commitment.

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 individuals and the community to our programs and our programs to the community.
