The solid reputation and capabilities established during AbilityFirst’s 80-year history leads many organizations – community-based and public agencies, alike – to turn to us for help implementing their initiatives for people with disabilities. Here are a couple of examples of these types of collaborations:
School-to-Work – On behalf of the Los Angeles Unified School District, as well as other school districts, AbilityFirst works with students in special education classes who are nearing graduation. We assist them in making a successful transition from public school to adult life. Depending on the student’s interests and strengths, this might include vocational training, employment and/or continuing education at the college level.
Long Beach Workforce Development Board – Appreciating the diversity of its community, this agency partners with AbilityFirst on strategies to ensure access and participation in the local job market for Long Beach residents who have disabilities.
Organizations and agencies interested in collaborating with AbilityFirst should email Isis McDonald, or call (626) 449-5662.
