Meet the City of Rochester Project SEARCH interns:

Meet the City of Rochester Project SEARCH interns: Leyah, Davion, Tajh, Synder, Adrian and Nahyo! Thanks to the grant from the @@racf4change and facilitated by The Arc Foundation of Monroe, each intern receives stipends throughout their Project SEARCH year based on maintaining excellent attendance. The students are developing the punctuality and attendance skills essential for future employment! We are so proud of everything this group is accomplishing – congratulations to these interns!

Project SEARCH is a national one-year, high school transition program for students with disabilities between the ages of 18-21 that provides training and education with the goal of obtaining competitive employment. The City of Rochester's @projectsearchhq program launched in September 2010 in collaboration with the Strong Center for Developmental Disabilities, The Arc of Monroe, the @rcsdnys, and the @cityofrochesterny.

We’ve come so far in building a more inclusive and understanding world for people with autism.

The Arc of Monroe remains committed to protecting that progress by ensuring that every person is treated with the respect and humanity they deserve – especially when public discourse falls short.

Yesterday we helped celebrate the amazing mentors

Yesterday we helped celebrate the amazing mentors who are an essential part of our @lifeprep_naz program. Through campus employment, @nazuniversity students serve as mentors to the LifePrep students, assisting LifePrep students in classes, accompanying them to lunch, and supporting their on-campus and off-campus vocational experiences. We appreciate all that these mentors do to help our LifePrep students thrive not just on campus, but in their everyday lives!

LifePrep@Naz is a collaboration between The Arc of Monroe, @victorcentralschools, and Nazareth University. To learn more, visit www.ArcMonroe.org/LifePrep-Naz.
