CANY Participant Honored by SIDDC

On Friday, December 13^th, SIDDC held a meeting recognizing individuals on their accomplishments and to celebrate their achievements.

We are very proud to announce that Angela, one of our own participants, has received an award.

Angela is part of our Day Habilitation Without Walls program. Through hard work and perseverance she has gained confidence in achieving goals that she has set for herself, including volunteering at her local library where she hopes to earn a paid position soon.

We would like to extend our congratulations to Angela and her family!

The Tenement Museum has been working with the Career Discovery Project for the past four years. Over that time this relationship has been beneficial to the Museum and I believe to the students as well. All the students I have worked with brought extremely valuable expertise to the Museum that we have used to continually improve programming for visitors who are blind or have low vision. The students receive work experience and supportive connections as they build their resume. In my opinion, it is wonderful that students are paid for their work and expertise while still being extremely cost efficient for a small museum like the Tenement. However, my favorite part of the project by far is getting to know the students. They have been pleasant to work with, professional, kind, interesting, and eager to help. I highly recommend the Career Discovery Project.
