These students, aged 18-22, work along with Assistance League member volunteers as they gain valuable and transferrable skills for their future employment. At the same time, the Thrift &amp; Vintage Shop benefits greatly from their involvement.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]Typically, we have up to six students with their job coach working three-hour shifts on Mondays and Wednesdays.\u00a0 They arrange their own transportation and are required to arrive on time, ready for work. Their coach and the Thrift &amp; Vintage Shop manager assign various duties, dependent on each student\u2019s ability and\/or interest.\u00a0 Tasks range from simple duties, such as helping to tidy the shop and sorting donations, to more challenging tasks such as answering the telephone and working the cash register.\u00a0 Students have multiple opportunities to interact with each other, volunteers, and customers. They are encouraged to go a little outside of their comfort zones. To quote one of the students, \u201cIt makes me feel good.\u201d\u00a0 It is rewarding for us to witness the growth of their confidence and self-esteem.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9397&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]Beginning in 2013, students with mild to moderate disabilities who were in a protective and directed school environment through high school and are now in the Adult Community Transition Program have been coming to the Thrift &amp; Vintage Shop to work in various capacities.
