Review for Chesapeake Service Systems Inc, Chesapeake, VA, USA
CSS is an amazing organization that helps find employment for individuals with the most profund and severe developmental disabilties. This is CSS' 25th year of helping people help themselves with meaningful paid work opportunities. These job opportunies provide a sense of purpose, independence and self-esteem. Always changing the growing, CSS' new laundry occupational center with large industrial equipment has over 100 individual with severe disabilities working for local hospitals, navy bases, resturants and other companies. The new center, in a povery zone, has helped revitalize the community and has given hope and a new found sense of pride to the individuals who work there and their families. The more funds we are able to raise to complete building the center, the more people with severe disabilities can work and as a result finally have a chance at a normal life.

...my every work. Working with individuals with severe intellectual disabilities has given me a brnad new perpectie in life and has taught me to cherish each moment and live life to the fullest.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
...the profound developmental changes in the clients. When they enter the program they are typically quiet, and reserved. Those coming directly from institutions are completely disengaged. Within a metter of weeks they literally come alive!
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Amazing people with great heart and passion for helping clients lead more productive and independant lives.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Create more jobs for the thousands of individuals with severe disabiltiies who are not being served now and are wasting away at home or in adult day care programs.
