As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, we're reflecting on the importance of making time for self-care and prioritizing well-being.

This month, we asked some of our student participants to share what self-care looks like for them.

Today, we had the opportunity to speak with students at KIPP DC about the Best Buddies Jobs Program and the power of inclusive employment 💼💜

Students shared their career interests and aspirations while participants from our Jobs Program spoke about their own employment journeys, offering advice and insight from their experiences. It was inspiring to see our participants empowering and encouraging the next generation of leaders as they explore their futures and career goals!

Last month, our Transitions students had an incredible workplace learning experience at TCMA! 💼

Participants learned how to navigate the Metro independently and built valuable job-applicable skills both in the classroom and through a hands-on workshop and tour of the TCMA kitchen.

Caleb, a transitions student, shared, “It is fun to get a chance to learn lots of cool stuff. It is also cool to see all the other people in my class learn and hear about what they are interested in.” 💜

Caleb also shared that the program has helped him prepare for interviews by learning skills like making eye contact, speaking clearly, and presenting himself professionally — skills that are already helping him at his current job site and will support him in future careers.

A huge thank you to the TCMA staff Dennis Burns, Don Shapiro, Chef Gohary, Jacie Roberts, and Erin Taylor for investing in our participants, fostering their learning, and helping them gain skills they can carry into their futures! 🤝
