Pine Castle empowers adults with intellectual and developmental differences (IDD) to learn, work and connect. Its Pathway to Life Enrichment teaches life skills for independence; its Pathway to Community Employment offers pre-vocational classes and work skills training in on-site product assembly workshops or on-campus crews, all while earning a paycheck; and its Group Home Living Program houses 38 participants in five group homes and one independent living home. Category is Jobs and Training because the employment pathway — paid work training — is a core, named program; the life-skills classes and group homes are covered in this same row. Pine Castle’s homepage also announces “Financial Aid Scholarships — Available Now!”
