Choice services offers a full range of classes, workshops and experiences that YOU can choose from ... come to one, or come to them all, it's your choice.

Many of our activities take place in the community in amazing spaces like the karate dojo,  dance studio, library, recreation centers and local green space.

At Branching Out Support Services we recognize choice is incredibly important and when we provide choice to each other, we also provide respect.
