Social Program

Picture yourself attending exciting social events with our clients—whether it's a night at the movies, a whale-watching adventure, or cheering on the Dodgers. Share stories, create memories, and make a lasting impact with a minimum of two events a month, though more is always better.!

Our social program meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3pm-6pm, offering regular opportunities for fun and connection. Additionally, we have bigger trips on Saturdays, where clients enjoy movies, summer concerts, plays, amusement parks, and museums. Best of all, it won't cost you a dime.
