Great Days at Sunshine Village
The world of Sunshine Village is so important to the parents who send their adult children off each day. We recognize this, and our continual goal, our unwavering promise and the gold standard we strive for is: Make every day a great day. In all of our programs and at each of our locations, Sunshine Village provides opportunities to live and learn, work and earn, give and grow.
We believe great days are made up of small moments that hold the potential for the largest of triumphs. A great day might take shape at work, at that moment when a co-worker says “thank you” for a job well done. It might happen the moment a ripe carrot is plucked from the ground, after being tended for weeks. It could come at the end of the day, when two friends hug good-bye before exchanging an enthusiastic “See you tomorrow.”

What clients and their families are saying
programs & services

Autism Spectrum Disorder Services
Sunshine Village offers an innovative curriculum empowering young adults on the autism spectrum to engage in community life, build autonomy, and grow through supportive, multidisciplinary programs. Activities include book clubs, culinary arts, and financial literacy, supported by clinical services like speech and occupational therapy.

Life Engagement Services
We offer four MassHealth-funded day programs in Agawam, Chicopee, and Three Rivers for individuals 18 and older. These programs focus on building life skills, independence, and social abilities through personalized plans, supported by on-site nursing, master’s level clinicians, and access to therapy services.

Community Based Services
The CBDS career track supports individuals 18 and older with complex needs who seek job readiness while requiring additional services. Our program builds workforce skills like professionalism, teamwork, communication, and self-advocacy, often practiced in volunteer roles with local organizations. Each day balances skill-building with physical activities, arts, culture, and tech engagement, both on campus and within the community.

Employment Services (benefit for clients)
A chance to contribute, a sign of self-sufficiency, a sense of accomplishment—having a job is one of the most meaningful experiences for all of us. Sunshine Village’s Employment Service Division, including our commercial cleaning company, gives individuals 18 years and older opportunities to earn wages in a variety of settings and models. Partnering with businesses and organizations throughout the region, we provide on-the-job training and additional supports to help each individual continually develop their skills.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and those who step into that role with love – you SHINE today and everyday!
This meaningful artwork was created by Anthony, a client in our Agawam CBDS program — a thoughtful way to recognize and honor the important role fathers play in our lives.
