๐ Celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month! ๐
October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), and all month long, we're highlighting the importance of inclusive workplaces and celebrating individuals in our community who are gaining valuable work experience! ๐
๐ This week's spotlight is on Thomas! (Pictured left)
Thomas has been hard at work at the Highlands County Family YMCA, assisting with janitorial duties throughout the facility, including the gym, basketball court, cycling room, offices, and hallways!
His dedication and hard work are a wonderful reminder of the importance of creating opportunities where individuals of all abilities can learn, grow, and thrive. ๐ช
A huge THANK YOU to the YMCA and Vocational Rehabilitation for partnering with us to provide meaningful work experiences and helping build a more inclusive workforce!
๐ Keep up the fantastic work, Thomas! We are so proud of you!
๐ At Ridge Area Arc, we believe opportunity has no limits!
