Northeast Arc Journeys Program Opens In Stoneham

Northeast Arc recently celebrated the opening of its newest day program location in Stoneham, Massachusetts. The new location at 105 Central Street will be the home of Journeys, a community-based day support program that helps individuals develop the skills needed to access the community safely, become productive members of the community, and build and maintain employment and life skills. The program offers individuals diverse opportunities to volunteer in the community and work at local businesses. Northeast Arc already operates one Journeys location in Danvers. Jo Ann Simons, Northeast Arc’s President and CEO, said opening the new location will allow the agency to build stronger relationships in Stoneham and surrounding communities. The Journeys program is funded through the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services (DDS).
