Speakers

Mike is Dept. Chair for Electrical Program at YCCC and would like to come talk to us about some of the work he has been doing there. 

Pamela is the Admissions Advisor & Business Development Officer for a non-profit in Portland called Strive.  

STRIVE, which stands for Socialization, Transition, Reflection, Innovation, Vocation and Education, is a non-profit organization based in South Portland, Maine, that assists tweens, teens and young adults with intellectual disabilities.

Nellie Young is from Marshwood Interact.

Nellie recently completed a project to help fundraise for a nursery school serving children ages 3 to 7. This effort raised over $18,000, which allowed us to build a new building, renovate the existing one, and provide all-new furniture and school supplies for all 40 students.

Currently, Nellie is starting a new project focused on a culinary school with about 30 students of various ages. These students learn essential culinary skills, earn a certificate for their hard work, and then enter the workforce with valuable training and confidence.
