The thrust of the Golden Rule Services day programs is skill training and related services. Each individual has training goals specific to his/her needs. Each day has social activities which help build self esteem. Classroom activities help increase academic skills and maintain skills that are already acquired. Arts and craft projects provide a fun activity and also gives each person a sense of worth by making something to give to brighten another person's life. Daily exercise in both locations helps to provide fitness training to our consumers. Music therapy helps our individuals learn about different instruments, their sounds and how they are played.

Outings are planned each month to provide exposure to various activities and places. Life skill outings help train each individual in becoming productive and independent in their community.
Excursions to The Sea Center of Texas, in Lake Jackson, Kemah Boardwalk, Galveston Ferry, Moody Gardens Aquarium, Ringling Bros. Circus, Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, Theater Performances, and Sailing on Galveston Bay are examples of outings that provide participants with a day of memories. Other community activities include,

Bowling
Restaurants
Library
Shopping, and
Movies

The two day program sites - Pearland and Texas City - are busy each day of the week, with people working on individual goals, learning to work together and continually building memories.
