Fresno East
Walls Free Services Are Here!
Fresno East has implemented its Walls-Free program starting
June 1, 2010. Participants in this portion of the program
start their day at a community-based location, participate
in community-based activities throughout the day, and return
home from the community. Activities that participants engage
in include volunteerism and employment training, utilization
of public services such as public transportation, social
events, sporting events, and other activities that promote
the use of social skills in a community setting. This type
of service provided an increased opportunity to practice
social and employment skills in real-world settings.

Transportation Training
Thank you Clovis Stageline!
Trainers from the City of Clovis brought a Stageline bus to
the Fresno East facility on March 16th to provide training
for consumers and instructors on the safety rules and
procedures for accessing the bus for our community
integration activities. While on the bus, trainers Janells
and Tammy explained to the consumers and staff the rules and
reasons behind the rules as well as different features of
the bus (e.g., emergency exits, seat belts, wheelchair
tie-downs, etc.).

Volunteerism and Employment Training
Participants are volunteering weekly at the Valley Animal
Shelter. While assigned to groom and provide needed
attention and love to cats in search of a new home,
participants are gaining valuable work skills.
Twice a week, participants volunteer their time at Wesley
United Methodist Church on E. Barstow. Participants complete
landscaping duties such as watering plants, removing
cobwebs, sweeping sidewalks and patio areas, picking up
trash, wiping chairs, and cleaning tables. The church also
has the Pink Cow Thrift Store and participants volunteer by
sorting, cleaning and washing items, boxing items that are
damaged, hanging clothes, and using a steamer to remove
wrinkles from clothing. CVTC Fresno East thanks Wesley
Unitied Methodist Church for providing volunteer
opportunities for participants of the program and offering
real-world, hands-on learning of employment-related skills.
Clovis Best Buy
Employment opportunity at the Clovis Best Buy. CVTC Fresno
East consumers have a paid employment opportunity of
janitorial services at the Clovis Best Buy, six days per
week.
