New Year Resolutions

New years bring new changes everywhere you look. Here in the NHVC program we’ve made some changes – New Year Resolutions, if you will. One big change is that the culinary program is being reduced to two days a week. We will now only be serving lunch on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. There are a variety of reasons for this change, but one of the main reasons is that we are changing how our program functions. We will be implementing what we’re calling SMARTER goals for each member in vocational training. Each member will have a vocational related goal that will be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, outline the people Responsible for each piece, be Time-framed, explain Expected results, and have a Reward for achievement. We hope that this will enable people to see their progress and move on to greater independence in a shorter period of time. We plan to use the extra, non-lunch, day to work more specifically on these goals. Anyone interested in becoming part of the Vocational group can contact Jana or Tracy at 241-0315 for further information. Anyone interested in eating lunch, you are welcome on Tuesdays or Wednesdays at noon (suggested $2 donation).
