My Project

These products will go towards work experience class where students make coffee or hot chocolate and deliver it to teachers. Students are making the coffee, packaging the product, and offering customer service by delivering the product to the customer. The kettle is to warm up water for the hot chocolate the cups are used to put the product in and the other materials are meant to help make the coffee. Students will collect a small donation, which will support the funding for educational field trips.

This opportunity offers tailored job training and practical workplace exposure.

Students will develop social, communication, and self-advocacy skills. It also helps to foster confidence and independence in a supportive environment.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to empower students with autism and make a lasting difference in their lives. Thank you for your time and support. Together, we can create a more inclusive and equitable future.
