Staten Island

Which group(s) does your idea focus on? Select as many as apply.

People with Disabilities

Describe the challenge you want to address:

Many people with disabilities have not had the opportunity to receive 1 to 1 job coaching or innovative money management skills support. It is time to bridge this gap and create ways that make learning these skills more relatable and adaptive.

What is the solution to the challenge?

A program that provides multi-dimensional teaching opportunities that addresses sensory challenges, learning styles, and mentorship to make employment a more accessible chance to become employed. Too many people with disabilities feel working is increasingly an unrealistic goal. This program would open doors to the workforce.
