Success Story - Kendall

Recognizing National Disability Employment Month!
To recognize National Disability Employment Month. We would like to share some great success stories. Today we would like you to meet Kendall:

Hello, my name is Kendall and I work at Camp Bow Wow. I earn a check to buy things which teaches me how to be independent with my finances. I enjoy working with animals and contributing to my community. My job was easy because my teachers at Project SEARCH found the job for me before I graduated. Project SEARCH helped me.

I told the teachers that I wanted to work with animals and they found me the job at Camp Bow Wow in April, months before I graduated. I love working with the animals, all the different kinds of dogs. I like working with co- workers.
