BCRC

We are strategic in our programming to provide opportunities for personal growth and independence while respecting the dignity and uniqueness of each individual we serve.

One way BCRC aims to foster the personal growth of its participants is through our School to Work Transition Program (STW). This program is available to students ages 14-21 and focuses on employment, post-secondary education, training opportunities, and community living.

Our participants deserve to have the opportunity to participate in meaningful activities that improve their quality of life, encourage personal growth and move them toward their desired outcomes.
We recognize that every person who comes to us has their own set of strengths, abilities, interests, preferences, needs and desired outcomes. Our services must be customized to uphold the unique needs and personal goals of each of our clients.
