Change started with me last year...
...when my family and I decided to get help so that I could improve my skills and get out into the workforce. Thanks to a program offered by Rochester Rehabilitation and LDA Life and Learning Services I had help finding a volunteer position at the hospital. I also learned important job skills that helped me get my current job as an assistant at a day care. This program has given me the resources to go through a major life transformation – getting a job – and has helped me become more independent.
