Vocational Training

Our vocational training program prepares individuals for job opportunities by enhancing their personal strengths. MUHSEN Good Day job coaches teach general job skills but also train each individual by providing the knowledge & skills needed for a specific trade. Additionally, participants will have opportunities to work with MUHSEN community partners as job prospects arise.

Community Service

MUHSEN partners with various organizations to provide opportunities for community service. Most of the events take place on-site at the MUHSEN Center, however there are also opportunities to participate in events within the community. Just a few examples include packing supply kits, sorting brochures for organizations, and stocking food pantries.
