Victoria Community Resources Society
The Victoria Community Resources Society (VCRS) provides service to nine individuals within two residential sites that are co-located called Twin Oaks. The atmosphere at Twin Oaks is driven by the residents, and their team works to enhance the culture of the homes by being flexible, thoughtful and by leading with their hearts. At The Victoria Community Resources Society, they practice lateral leadership - they are directed by the folks they serve. They recognize they can provide the best service through their willingness to listen to self-advocates and stake holders. The VCRS board has several family members serving as directors which keeps them connected to the needs and goals of the people they serve.
