Saratoga Bridges, A chapter of The Arc New York
youtu.be/Zoeth5vMSsoMeet Max, a custodian at Corinth High School! Max had always been interested in finding a job during the day, and when his parents found a job coach for him through Saratoga Bridges, he was able to start prepping for interviews and learning the skills he would need to work in specific roles. Marcy, Max’s job coach, prepped him for interviews and, when he got the job, she kept in touch with him to make sure the schedules are good, he is enjoying his career, and to make sure that both Max and the high school are getting what they need out of the experience! Michelle, Max’s supervisor, enjoys working with him and has seen him grow and come out of his shell through the experience. Saratoga Bridges thanks Jim, the Director of Facilities, for being so enthusiastic when meeting Max and for making a fantastic choice in hiring him as a custodian! Thank you as well to the Employment Services team and Marcy for making sure Max has all the tools and resources he needs to excel in his role! ... See MoreSee Less

youtu.be/AWzxTpr_eCQ?feature=sharedMeet Jonathan, one of the people who participate in Saratoga Bridges’ Supported Employment Program where individuals with developmental disabilities learn the skills needed to work and apply for jobs and excel in their positions. Together, with the help of a job coach and the assistance of his manager, Jonathan has climbed up the ladder at Home Depot from a cashier to head cashier, or assistant to the supervisor. Jonathan loves his coworkers, and the customers love interacting with him at the register. He is timely, punctual, and puts his all into what he does with high hopes for the future of his career at Home Depot. Not only has Jonathan’s life been impacted, but so has his manager’s, Jen. She has seen his growth and his importance to her team, and she is grateful to have the support of Saratoga Bridges as she and Jonathan pave the way for more inclusive hiring in the workforce. We hope all businesses will aspire to be as open-minded as Jen was in hiring someone with a developmental disability. His inclusion on the team has made a difference to both customers and coworkers alike. Thank you, Jen, and the whole team at Home Depot for providing this opportunity for Jonathan, and thank you to the employment services team at Saratoga Bridges for giving Jonathan the tools he needed to succeed! If you are interested in learning more about employment services and supports, as either a business or a person with a disability, please reach out to Sonya Nickol at snickol@saratogabridges.org. ...
