Commitment to Community

Pleasantview is a proud member of VIA, Santa Clarita's own Valley Industry Association. Seeing their dedication to preparing the workforce of the future through their award winning Connecting to Success, Executive Director, Ricki, has participated in CTS as a facilitator for three years. Finding the curriculum similar to the work Pleasantview does through our services, Ricki proposed the possibility of partnering to bring CTS to the disability community.

​

In Summer 2025, that proposal became reality for our first Connecting to Success For All, the first time bringing this curriculum to adults with developmental disabilities. Participants and visitors alike were impressed by the program. 

​

Pleasantview started the Pleasantview Employment Group (PEG) as an opportunity to meet with competitively employed clients to discuss work and provide feedback about the support they receive. The meeting also served as time to socialize outside of work, time to share with peers about work experiences or challenges they have faced. 

​

While the PEG Meetings were originally only open to Pleasantview clients, we see the benefit in offering all Regional Center Consumers an opportunity to access this supportive environment.

 

We will generally have a topic of training on work or life skills, but we may also have game nights or other more social activities. Each meeting also allows for time to chat about work and to get feedback from others. PEG meeting are now available to individuals who are currently competitively employed as well as any consumer who is seeking work now or would like to in the future. We believe opportunities to engage in the training we offer and discussions we have may support their future employment experiences.   

​

PEG Meetings are generally held on the third Wednesday of each month, from 5pm-6pm, at the Pleasantview Offices. We often have a pizza dinner option available if you RSVP in advance. Check this month's flyer for more details.
