TAGLIT: Enriching lives for a better community We connect young adults in our Taglit program with volunteer options that match their interests and abilities. We have made community partnerships with Adopt-A- Park, Beads of courage, Ben’s Bell, Casa de Los Ninos Thrift Store, Evolve Martial Arts, and Unscrewed Theatre. Our participants enjoy volunteering both out in the community and at The J. You might see our participants helping out at the MRC desk or in one of our ECE classrooms. Our participants are supported by highly-trained advocates dedicated to helping them succeed in their chosen volunteering. These opportunities will help our participants gain important skills for work readiness. If you would like to learn more about our Taglit program, you can contact or Director of Special Needs Services at [email protected]. October 2017 | J Life Magazine  11
