About Us
The Establishment of Our Company
The Vessel Network was founded in 2019 by former college athletes, Klaye Rowe and Josh Jones. They bonded over their love of basketball and their passion for supporting the Intellectual and Developmental Disability Community. Rowe and Jones worked together to build a platform at the forefront of inclusion. They vowed to create a safe space for growth, spread awareness, and advocate for participants and their families. After creating residential services, they turned their attention to day services.
That’s when Jenny Grove entered the picture. The three of them shared the dream of creating a person-centered space that was different from the others. A space where individuals have a choice every day between different activities and the ability to create a weekly schedule that fits their needs and interests. To do that, they’ve built a space to allow for art, community integration, respite, employment, wood working, cooking, independent living, family support services and more.
About Our Company
Overview of Our Services
We offer a wide range of options in our day services designed to provide opportunity and person first choices. From community integration, day habilitation, culinary, art, and our wood working shop, individuals build relationships, connect with others and gain important life skills. We provide safe access to the community and help them gain skills to do so independently. In our arts programs, individuals create works they’re proud of, experience hand on woodworking skills, and grow in their self-confidence. The Vessel believes that they should have a voice in their lives, and we're here to help them find it.
Our services don’t start and end with day. We also offer residential, Shared Living Providers, respite and supported employment. Individuals are more than just clients to our SLPs; they’re family. They are welcomed into their homes, provided access to the community, independence, and the ability to live on their terms. Our respite club provides social experience, meaningful friendships and client chosen activities. They also participate in a Wednesday night bowling league at Sparetime. And for individuals interested in work, our Supported Employment program provides job coaching. They help them navigate through jobs and find work that means something to the individual. The opportunities here are endless.
