Happy Earth Day!

Earlier this month, a group of participants volunteered at the Heritage Museum in Santa Ana to help out at their Gospel Swamp Farm. Participants contributed by helping them mulch areas of the farm.

One participant stated they were very grateful to get the chance to come by and help because they believe it is important that an area for the community should be taken care of by the community.

Spring into Service!

To celebrate spring, participants in our Creative Choices program took the time to prepare Easter baskets for the children served by Community Action Partnership of Orange County. A total of 120 baskets were created!

They enjoyed this yearly opportunity to prepare goodies and spread joy to the youth in their community.

Our mission is to train people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities for success in life and work. My Day Counts participants understand that success is achieved when you empower your community.

Participants at My Day Counts are given the support they need for their life goals. For many of them, they have a goal to achieve employment in their community.

To prepare them, participants can take an Interview & Résumé course where they learn résumé-building tips, strategies on how to answer interview questions, and good habits on how to demonstrate professionalism.

They are motivated to work hard and challenge themselves each week to reach their career goals!

Recycling the Favor: Our Turn to Give Back!

Earlier this month, participants visited to show appreciation to their workers for helping keep their local community clean.

Participants spent time creating thank-you cards with treats attached to let them know how grateful they are. As they volunteer in the community, they understand that one of the best things to do to help out is to keep the community clean and safe for others.

Thank you, Republic Services, for all the things you do for the participants and their community!

Yesterday was National Paratransit Driver Appreciation Day, and to celebrate, My Day Counts Participants took the time to create cards for the incredible drivers that transport them daily.

We are forever grateful for My Day Counts drivers! They provide a great impact on the lives of the participants. Thanks to the drivers, participants are able to arrive to program and receive services that empower them and help them reach their full potential.

A Clean Space for Healthy Habits

Participants took the time to head out to Orange Coast Community College in Costa Mesa to help sanitize gym equipment in their weight room.

Participants understand the importance of exercising as a part of someone's daily routine to live a healthy life. They decided to use the job skills they have learned from paid trainings in the community to help benefit their own community members and make sure they have a clean environment in which to exercise.
