Members have the opportunity to volunteer both at the site and in the community. Baroco offers Reverse Community Integration by inviting different groups to present at Baroco (ie: Fire Department) There are four month long Mandatory themes the members and staff participate in throughout the year. These include Human Rights, Safety Awareness, Healthy Lifestyles, and Cultural Awareness.

Ipads and laptops are used as part of client programming. Our consultants assist with designing goals and using these devises for goals and objectives. The use of the Wii system is used in conjunction with our exercise groups.
