Who We Are

We believe that participation in meaningful and fun experiences offers individuals the opportunity to build community, form and strengthen relationships and further enrich their lives. Since 2021, we have worked towards achieving our vision of developing programming that has a positive impact on our participants and their families. We hope you will come and connect with us!
Offering Opportunities
Partners for Community Engagement (PCE) provides fun, unique, participant-led social meet-up opportunities and special events that foster connection and community building. Our programming empowers participants to engage in healthy social group interaction and collective decision making. When individuals participate in PCE they become part of a group whose culture is one of acceptance and encouragement.
Our coordinated and facilitated experiences encourage participants to engage socially in their community and build a supportive social network with one another. PCE participants build strong relationships through shared experiences in activities that are organic and enjoyable. Since PCE’s founding in 2021, participants have been the primary stakeholders in defining the culture of PCE. We are a person-centered, participant-directed provider that prides itself on being responsive to the individuals we serve.
Engage in Community
Our meet-up groups and special events have a relaxed atmosphere and are facilitated by experienced professionals who provide support to ensure safe participation and interactions.
Our programming includes twice weekly dinner meet-ups, monthly special events, seasonal programs and mini-getaways. We develop activities and experiences based on our participants’ interests.
In addition to having positive experiences with peers, participants benefit from guided practice in social and interpersonal interaction, budgeting and money management, understanding personal boundaries and improving executive functioning skillsets.
If you are interested in joining us for any of our programs, please submit a participant interest form. Once we receive your submission PCE will meet virtually with individuals and their families to help us better understand the participant’s needs and to answer any questions. We look forward to hearing from you!
