Peninsula Services mission is to assist persons with developmental disabilities, mental illness and other challenges, in developing skills and capabilities by providing a wide array of rehabilitative and supportive services. The agency provides assessment, rehabilitative work training, job placement and employment options to persons with disabilities in Kitsap County. Peninsula Services has been in Kitsap County since 1971 and is currently serving
approximately 200 people each year. Delivery of these services is accomplished in a number of ways including the procurement of actual contracts to serve as training or
employment sites, the direct job placement of individuals with employers in the comm
unity, or through productive work training opportunities established by Peninsula Services itself. Peninsula Services is accredited by CARF (Commission on Accreditation of
Rehabilitation Facilities) and is certified to provide services to the Division of Developmental Disabilities, the Division of Vocational
Rehabilitation, the Department of Labor and Industries and the Veteran’s Administration. On the job training, use of the latest technology, as well as accommodations that may be needed for individual participants, promote excellence in work performance. All services may be provided on a group and/or individual basis. It is the philosophy of the
organization that all persons have the capacity to work, grow, and excel.
