Community Partners

The ROC Society’s partners are our devoted community supporters, local businesses, and other organizations/ agencies to share opportunities that support our vision to the people we serve. Community partnership could be supported behind the scenes, offering employment training or job placements, volunteering, or in-kind donations. Do not forget that we have a lot to offer! Through our vocational programs, we provide services to local businesses such as being a local resource for survey stakes and some of the best homemade rolls, breads and sweets. Businesses can also benefit from a partnership that promotes an inclusive, diverse work environment. Kent Building Supplies in Port Hawkesbury, Home Hardware in Port Hood, and Walmart Port Hawkesbury are examples of Successful community partnerships. These businesses have gained valuable employees, while individuals fulfill their goals to work in community employment.
