Guidelines for Socialization and Day Programs
The Adult Socialization and Day Programs are for adults who have mild disabilities. We are able to serve individuals who generally fit the following guidelines and who can abide by the following rules and regulations.
1. Participants must have a developed sense of self-sufficiency. This means that they are independent in basic living and social skills. Staffing is on a 1 staff to 10 participant basis. A chaperone may accompany those who are not independent or need more than the established staffing and will be charged the cost of any tickets or passes only. We may request that participants bring an assistant for certain activities if they are not independent in the area that the activity may require.
2. Participants should have the ability to drive, ride the bus, or provide their own transportation to and from activities.
3. Participants must adhere to the times posted for activities to begin and end. Staff intends to begin and end activities at their stated hour and cannot wait for individuals whose transportation is 15 minutes to an hour late because of other commitments. Staff is not responsible for clients who are dropped off before the noted meeting time. In addition, per Salt Lake County policy, clients picked up more than 15 minutes late will be charged a late fee of $5 per every 15 minutes. These fees must be paid before the client can attend the next activity.
4. Participants can administer their own medications without the assistance of others.
5. Participants must follow all rules and conduct for safety. This includes remaining with the group, following directions, etc.
6. Participants must come to the activity ready to participate. This includes sunscreen, bug repellent, water, proper attire. etc.
7. Participants will RSVP for each activity by the date requested (Adult Socialization Program).

Volunteer Opportunities

This is a non-profit board comprised of members from the community. They advise Parks & Recreation staff on issues and concerns, help fund scholarships for participation, make recommendations for improvements, and assist in developing public awareness, understanding and support for Parks & Recreation Programs.
