Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our school is a transition center focusing on vocational and life skills in Chicago. Our students are 18-22 years old with intellectual disabilities and participate in work internships throughout the city.

Travel training is an important part of increasing students independence!

Our students learn how to take busses and trains from our school building to various internship sites throughout the city. Some students are trained on how to take public transportation from their home to school. Knowing how to take public transportation to and from work will help them be more successful maintaining a job after graduation. In order to help our students safely use public transportation, portable chargers and charging cords will help our students be able to stay in contact with the school and their families when traveling independently.
