Ladysmith
& Area Community Link
is
a pilot project funded by Community Living BC, Vancouver Foundation,
Ladysmith Resources Center, and LSS to enhance inclusion of
young adults and teens with developmental disabilities.
Community Link offers support, training, and job coaching
to provide participants with increased inclusion in the community
through integrated employment. The overall goal is to offer
opportunities, so each individual can present and demonstrate
his/her assets and skills to the community and become a valued
and respected citizen.
Community Link strives to advocate and raise awareness for
the value of diversity and the benefits of employment partnerships
such as: enhanced productivity, stable and loyal workforce,
increased cost effectiveness, improved bottom line.
A
community that can take care of
its own people is a rich community.
