The Sertoma S.H.O.P
In 1976, a group of SERTOMANs formed a nonprofit corporation for the purpose of providing employment opportunity for persons with developmental and physical disabilities. Its official name was the SERTOMA Handicapped Opportunity Program, Inc., and it became known as the S.H.O.P. The S.H.O.P. began with only a two-room facility serving some 13 persons with developmental disabilities. Over the years the agency has been a primary focus of interest, and has benefited from philosophical and financial sponsorship from various SERTOMA Clubs in the greater Tulsa area.
MISSION OF THE SERTOMA S.H.O.P.
The mission of the SERTOMA S.H.O.P. is to provide vocational education, counseling, training and opportunity to adults with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities in the greater Tulsa community. Vocational services are provided to persons who’s disabilities range from severe to mild and moderate. An attempt is made to provide services to everyone who could benefit from them. Goals are established for each worker to help them maximize their potential for increased responsibilities, and to promote independence in their lives by providing instruction in living and communicative skills; many are also given housekeeping training. We hope to increase the quality of each person’s habilitation and through this, to enhance their quality of life. The Sertoma Shop provides Sheltered employment, Supported Employment and Life Skills training to eligible individuals with developmental disabilities. The Sertoma Shop also operates a cedar shim – cedar mulch manufacturing facility. Sertoma Shop facilities are located in East Tulsa, West Tulsa and Owasso.
