Meet Fred

Fred has been involved with WTC for 20 years, participating in a range of different activities and programs. An artist at heart, Fred enjoys daily opportunities to be creative and do what he loves to do—whether that’s making mixed-media art for public display, learning to line dance with friends, or choir singing. He also enjoys spending time with his housemates and friends, no matter if it’s spent bowling a few frames or sharing a night out at the carnival. Since he joined the Butte County community two decades ago, WTC has been delighted to provide Fred with the supervision and assistance he needs to lead a fulfilled, self-determined life.

A History of Helping

Where We Started—And Where We're Going

Since 1949, the Work Training Center (WTC) has strived to support adults with developmental disabilities within Butte County communities. We began with a vision to bring services to everyone, regardless of ability. Now, as we serve more than 200 people in various programs in multiple locations, with a staff of nearly 100 and a budget of $7.2 million, we are still making our vision reality.
