Description of Services: Community Services is open 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. Our staffing ratio is three participants to one staff person. Our participants are teachers as each person has skills they can share with their peers. The staff members provide support as necessary, but encourage the participants to be the leaders of the program.

Many different community and center-based events are offered each day. On Mondays and Fridays, we offer a participant led walking group at the Maine Mall. On Fridays, we offer a participant led swimming group at the South Portland Recreational Center. Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, our participants relax with hour-long yoga and Tai-Chi sessions led by professional instructors.

Our program weeks are broken down into small group sessions which focus on learning functional life skills necessary to become self-reliant. The program has three groups which meet three times a week to focus on individualized goals. Currently, the program has a cooking group, a fine motor skills/arts group and a money matters group.

If you are interested in visiting the program, please feel free to contact Joe Pannozzo at (207) 386-5952 or jpannozzo@pinetreesociety.org. The program is located at 51 US Route 1, Scarborough. Our participants are always willing to make a visitor feel welcome as soon as they walk through our door.
