Seeking local internship opportunities for students with disabilties

New York City NY

Description

Hello, I run a transition program at an independent school on the Upper West Side for people with disabilities ages 18-21. This program builds life skills, career skills, and overall independence for a range of students. In order to build career skills, we are seeking internship-style opportunities for our students where they can begin to put their skills forward within our community. Students would be supervised and we are seeking a short time commitment--maybe a couple of hours each week. We are seeking a variety of experiences--in retail, office work, the restaurant industry, etc. If you are interested in learning more or feel your business would benefit from this, let me know. I am happy to hop on a call, Zoom, or set up an in-person meeting in order to discuss what this kind of partnership might look like. Thanks so much for your consideration to help provide our high-spirited students with these important opportunities.
