Our incredible community partners stepped up again this year, opening their doors and welcoming students from our Adult Transition Program!
This program serves young adults ages 18-22 who have completed high school but continue receiving special education services as they prepare for greater independence in adulthood. Through community-based job experiences, students build workplace skills, confidence, social connections, and everyday life skills.
Students recently presented plaques to our incredible community partners who welcomed them into their workplaces this school year:
👏 Camano Center
👏 2nd Chance Thrift Store
👏 Warm Beach Camp & Conference Center
👏 Stanwood-Camano YMCA
👏 Meyer Art Center (formerly SCAAC)
👏 The Caring Place
👏 Box of Good
👏 Grocery Outlet
👏 Stanwood Camano Food Bank & Thrift Store
👏 Ace Hardware Stanwood
These community partnerships are invaluable in helping our students explore careers, practice job skills, and discover what’s possible beyond the classroom.
We’re always looking for additional businesses and organizations interested in hosting an Adult Transition Program student. Whether it’s helping with customer service, organization, maintenance, food service, office tasks, or other meaningful work, your organization can play a role in helping students take the next step toward independence.
