SCOPE

SCOPE is an outreach program that connects people to community resources to enhance the health, independence and quality of life for participants with multiple barriers, special needs or diminished opportunities living in Surrey, Delta, White Rock, Ladner and Tsawwassen. Service is primarily one-to-one.  Community Outreach Counsellors work with participants to identify their strengths and then together with the Employment and Assistance Worker, build a personal plan that works toward achieving goals.
