Following their participation in the Vocational Training introductory course, youth will have an opportunity to apply their newly learned skills in a small community project selected by the group.

The project will address a community need such as expanding a green space in a non-profit organization; art mural; building items that can be used for play and learning, and/or an innovative idea that will address a community need.

Participants will have the opportunity to practice their skills in the area of resume creation and interviewing, while also developing further knowledge about their community. The project team will work on skills such as planning, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills.

An honorarium will be provided to each selected participant for this project. One to one job coaching and supervision will be provided by an ABA Therapist and a BCBA.
