Cindy
and Vic’s R & R began in 1999 when Cindy Hensley and Vicki
Cellers were special educators in the Anchorage School District
working for the Adult Community Transition Program (ACT).
Cindy
and Vic became aware that over the summer many of their students
lacked access to active community engagement and they wanted to find
ways to help their students stay productive, learning, and active in
their community. Cindy and Vic also saw a gap in these kinds of
services for students after graduation.
Today,
Cindy and Vic’s R & R, Inc, serves over 60 individuals and
employs over 30 staff. The organization hosts a year-round Day
Habilitation program as well as a fall and winter evening program.
Cindy and Vic’s operates 3 Group Homes and provides Respite,
In-Home Supports, and Supported Living services.
Cindy
and Vic’s R & R employs high caliber professional staff that
includes teachers, counselors, occupational therapists, recreation
specialists, adaptive physical education teachers, and college
students. Cindy and Vicki believe in creating a family environment
in the workplace and with program participants that fosters
camaraderie, caring, learning, and fun!
