Our mission is to enhance the lives of adults with developmental challenges by providing a safe environment, meaningful programs, positive relationships, and promote social inclusion in the community.
We offer a variety of programs and services that support individuals with developmental disabilities. Programs are geared towards client interests, life skill building and so much more!
The organization can trace its roots back to the 1950’s when it began as a group of dedicated parents of children with physical and developmental disabilities. Formerly known as ARC Industries and Quinte Vocational, the organization was established as a non-profit corporation in 1989. In 1993, this Belleville based organization gained charitable status within Ontario, and has since changed its name to the present, Quinte Vitality and Social Support.
In August, we will post September's calendar of QVSS 's after-hours events!
Where: QVSS
Cost: $20.00 per event, which includes dinner.
