This is such an important story. People with disabilities are having such a hard time during COVID-19 more so than others. Programs like our Project Search that help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities gain valuable job skills in partnership with Albertina Kerr have been temporarily suspended until COVID-19 is under control.

As a community how can we help programs like Project Search? What are we doing overall to support people with disabilities where programs are suspended. This vulnerable group needs support. Albertina Kerr Embassy Suites by Hilton

Let's drop the act that this pandemic affects us all equally.

Happy Monday!
We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.
For about a month now, the interns have participated in virtual learning!
We wanted to share some topics that we reviewed last week:
- Reading a work schedule
- Interview preparation- the outfit
- Receiving feedback at work
- What it looks like to have a good attitude

Thank you for your continued support during this tough time!

As many of you may already know, our Project Search internship has been put on hold due to Governor Brown’s orders. It has been about a month since the stop of our program, however we have been able to implement virtual learning with our interns. The interns meet for about an hour, Monday through Friday, through a phone call or a video chat. During this virtual learning, we review topics from social skills to essential employment skills. We believe that socialization is extremely important during this time because it can have such a huge impact on mental health.

We hope that everyone is continuing to stay safe and healthy!

Thank you all for your ongoing support, especially in such an uncertain time!
