Vogt Engineering Supports New Danville

April 7, 2022

New Danville, located in Willis, changes lives.

Founded in 2005, New Danville provides a community where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and those needing similar services, can LIVE, LEARN, WORK, and GROW.


New Danville staff members and volunteers look at holistic solutions to enabling clients to learn and develop. Helen Keller said, “I cannot do everything, but I can do something. I must not fail to do something that I can.” At New Danville, the team seeks to help clients find their own “something.” Fitness, socialization, artistic expression, and sense of independence are ingredients to the mix of classes, programs, excursions, and opportunities made available to clients.


Guided by its mission to “serve adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), and those needing similar services, in a rural environment promoting dignity, respect and the opportunity to live enriched and purposeful lives,” the nonprofit provides a day program and a residential community to develop and empower clients. They maximize personal independence by offering learning opportunities that reinforce personal growth and freedom of choice. They also provide meaningful work experience through their J.O.B.S. (Jobs Outcome Based Services) program.


Eva Aguirre, president and CEO of New Danville, said, “We have come out of 2020 and 2021 stronger, wiser, and more clearly focused on a vision that expands and enhances what we offer to adults with IDD. More opportunities for programs, classes, residences, and jobs for clients drive our steps to the future. Of course, we are always looking for partners, collaborators, and supporters to help us champion adults with IDD and to help fill the gaps in services to that population.”


The Spring Thing (formerly known as Tea on the Lawn) will be held on April 22, 2022, and Vogt Engineering is proud to be a sponsor of this event. Spring Thing, New Danville’s major fundraising event, enables the organization to carry out their mission while making meaningful, positive impacts on the lives of those they serve.

Vogt Engineering Celebrates National Bike Month

By Tiffany Marascio • May 17, 2024
May is National Bike Month, but Vogt Engineering celebrates and encourages biking all year. Our team enjoys using our office bikes to get out and experience nature, taking advantage of our central location in The Woodlands Town Center. About National Bike Month National Bike Month, after many previous iterations, was officially established in 1956. Today, National Bike Month is sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists , which incorporates accessible ways to start biking by hosting smaller experiences such as National Bike to Work Week (usually held the third week of May), and Bike to Work Day (usually that Friday). Health Benefits According to the Harvard School of Public Health , biking can help “improve mental health by lowering stress levels and stimulating feel-good endorphins.” Other health benefits include: improved cardiovascular fitness stronger muscles greater coordination and general mobility reduced body fat Vogt's Commitment to our Team and the Environment One of Vogt Engineering’s major considerations when looking for an office was easily accessible trails for riding bikes and walking. We are fortunate to have found a great place to be with our great team of people. Not only is biking and being outdoors good for mental and physical health, but we value working with the environment in everything we do. Although many civil engineering projects require earth movement, Vogt is committed to finding solutions that complement the natural surroundings of the site. Get Involved There are many local entities that organize Bike Month events, including The Woodlands, Harris County Precinct 3 (at Burroughs Park), and more.
