About QUINTE VITALITY AND SOCIAL SUPPORT

The organization can trace its roots back to the 1950s when it began as a group of dedicated parents of children with physical and developmental challenges. They believed their sons and daughters should not be alienated but needed to be a part of their community. These parents are the foundation of the creation of our program! Formerly known as ARC Industries, it was established as a non-profit corporation in 1989. In 1993, this Belleville-based organization gained charitable status within Ontario and changed its name to the present Quinte Vocational Support Services. Helping People Reach Their Goals through Recreational, Leisure and Educational Programs: Our staff, coupled with our partnerships within the social service community, align service users with their program requests based on their Individual Support Plan and Quality Life Plan. Our objective is to provide special requirements and support needed to increase economic and social participation opportunities.
