When we asked our Structured Day Program members at Compassionate Care of Centrral New York what their program meant to them, this collective response was generated.

A structured day program offers more than just a daily routine, it creates a safe, engaging, and supportive space. Where individuals can thrive! Through a variety of meaningful activities such as life skill training, group discussions, dancing, and community outings, participants are encouraged to socialize, express themselves, and enjoy each day with purpose. One of the most powerful benefits of the program is the friendships that form connections that grow into lasting bonds and create a true family-like environment. Being part of the program helps individuals get out of their home environment, meet new people, and feel truly involved in something bigger than themselves. With the support of caring staff and peers. Participants experience joy, laughter, and a powerful sense of belonging. While building confidence and independence through real-world community integration. This program not only supports personal growth, but it also transforms lives by turning everyday moments into opportunities for connections. Also, for inclusion and happiness!

20+ YEARS CCCNY REMAINS ONE OF THE BEST PROVIDERS IN THE SOUTHERN TIER REGION, PROVIDING QUALITY CARE IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND INDIVIDUALS' HOMES!

A penned letter from a returning Binghamton University student who came to our organization through the Center for Civic Engagement and continued for the last 6 years, what an amazing collaboration we have created.

I wanted to take a moment to share how meaningful my time volunteering at CCCNY has been so far.
From the very beginning, I’ve been struck by how welcoming the environment is for participants. The balance of warmth, social connection, and a supportive structure creates a space that truly feels like a community while still providing the consistency and care that many of the members need.
All of the SDP staff are absolutely the best. All are so kind-hearted and hardworking and have been nothing but welcoming since I began volunteering. It has been inspiring to see how much joy and engagement the SDP center brings to individuals with traumatic brain injuries and other disabilities and/pr diagnoses, whether through group activities, casual conversations, or simply having a safe and encouraging place to spend time and be an adult.
Personally, I have found the experience deeply rewarding. I’ve had the chance to learn more about the unique challenges and strengths of individuals living with TBIs, and I feel grateful to contribute in a small way to the compassionate work your team does every day. It has also been a learning experience for me, shaping the way I think about patience, communication, and community care. Every person who comes to take part in the program has been absolutely lovely. We can joke, laugh, cry, and be sentimental within the same ten minutes. I am so grateful to have met all these wonderful people and to continue to meet more!

Thank you for leading such a meaningful organization and for allowing me to be a part of it. I look forward to continuing to volunteer for the next year and to supporting the mission of CCCNY.

See you soon,
Jacleen
