🌟Client Success Story: Spotlighting Esther Frias

💳Esther Frias is a perfect example of how a bit of external support can help transform the relationship between our clients and their employers. Esther had been volunteering with Rise Credit Solutions (RCS) when she first met Margarita Romero from Options For All. Esther and her employer both valued her hard work and commitment to her goals, but RCS lacked the funding to support her joining the company permanently.

🫶Through her incredible advocacy skills, Margarita Romero saved the day. She communicated with Esther’s CA Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation counselor to offer Adult Work Experience (AWE) services to her client, ensuring Esther could continue to work with RCS but also receive pay. By breaking down the process to Esther’s employee, Margarita has set this process underway and has confirmed Esther can be hired permanently after completing her AWE hours.

🏅We are so proud of Esther’s progress as she works towards her goal of becoming a Credit Repair Specialist. Thank you to Margarita for all of your hard work, and to Rise Credit Solutions for always prioritizing inclusive employment.

🌟Highlighting Brian Nero, the VP of Employment Services

🗺️Brian has revolutionized our approach to employment services, emphasizing the importance of supporting Options For All clients in building a future, rather than simply getting a job. His work is centered around inclusion—he expanded employment programs to not just big cities, but also rural areas like Imperial Valley and Salinas. Brian started at OFA in 2017 as the Area Manager for the East County Community Engagement team and transitioned into different roles throughout the past eight years, including Area Manager of Employment Services and Director of Employment Services. Today, he thrives as the Vice President of Employment Services—a role he began in May 2025.

🎤 “We’re seeing that people aren’t just getting jobs—they’re staying employed, building confidence, and moving toward careers that actually match what they want for their future.” – Brian Nero

👏As he continues to pilot new programs and strengthen our outreach, Options For All hopes to thank and spotlight Brian for his incredible work and leadership, both on the personal and statewide level.

🌟Client success story: John H

John’s journey with Options For All is one of resilience, growth, and the power of purpose. While he has faced profound challenges with anxiety and self-doubt, at times struggling with intrusive thoughts and becoming emotionally withdrawn, his story has taken a remarkable turn thanks to consistent support from his community with Options For All and his own inner strength. ❤️

💪A key part of John’s progress has been his involvement with Tai Chi. What started as a small class he led for his immediate group has grown into a weekly program that now serves five to six different client groups. His commitment to teaching Tai Chi has had a meaningful impact, supporting his own growth in addition to offering a positive experience for many of our other community members.

John’s shift from being withdrawn and uncertain to becoming more confident and engaged has been clear and steady. His transformation serves as a perfect example of the importance of perseverance, and in knowing your community members always have your back. 🫶

Happy National Wellness Month!

This August, we hope to remind ourselves to prioritize all aspects of our wellbeing: physical, emotional, financial, and professional. 🧘‍♀️ At Options For All, we’re dedicated to creating a workplace where wellness is more than a goal. Instead, it’s part of our culture.

💬As Justen Stevens, our Employee Experience Manager, shares:
“At Options For All, wellness isn’t just a program or a goal. It’s a mindset and a movement. When we care for our physical, emotional, financial, and professional wellbeing, we unlock the power to show up fully—for ourselves, for each other, and for the communities we serve."

💡 This month, we encourage everyone to take small steps toward what wellness means to you.

🎂Happy 40th birthday, Options For All!

Last Thursday, we hosted the first of our upcoming celebrations in San Diego at the Air and Space Museum in Balboa Park. From honoring our employees to acknowledging our most impactful community partners, the energy in the room reminded us how far we’ve come since our 1985 founding.

✨But we’re not done yet! This celebration was just the beginning. We’re gearing up for more events across the state as we continue to commemorate four decades of inclusion, advocacy, and meaningful support.

🎉 Happy 40th Birthday, Options For All!

This summer, we’re proudly celebrating 40 years of Putting People First—four decades of empowering individuals with disabilities, strengthening communities, and building an inclusive future together.

As CEO Brian Zotti shared, “For 40 years, our clients have been at the heart of everything we do. Options For All exists because we believe every person—regardless of ability—deserves to be seen, supported, and celebrated. This milestone belongs to our entire community, whose belief in inclusion has made lasting impact possible.”

We couldn’t agree more. This anniversary is not only a celebration of our mission—it’s a celebration of the people who bring it to life every day.
Board Chair Theresa Carroll adds, “This 40-year milestone belongs to every DSP who shows up with heart, every manager who leads with purpose, every leader who keeps our mission moving, and every Board member who believes in a better, more inclusive world. Together, we've built something truly extraordinary.”

🎂 We’ll be kicking off our birthday festivities in San Diego in late July, with more celebrations across California to follow. Stay tuned!

🏳️‍🌈 We’re absolutely beaming with PRIDE!

Melissa Malone-Montgomery and Justen Stevens have once again been named 2025 LGBTQ+ Leaders of Influence by the Diego Business Journal ! 🎉

This back-to-back recognition is no surprise to us—Melissa and Justen lead with integrity, compassion, and a fearless drive to uplift others. Their influence is felt across OFA and well beyond.

❤️At Options For All, we pride ourselves on our impact and our actionable steps toward supporting marginalized individuals within our communities. This year, we strengthened our support for several nonprofits, including Stepping Stone of San Diego of San Diego and Just in Time for Foster Youth, which advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and other underserved groups. This commitment is not just philanthropy, it’s culture. It’s one of the reasons Options For All is such a meaningful and inspiring place to work.

🌈As part of our ongoing commitment to San Diego Pride, we donate our film and media equipment, along with our production and editing expertise, to help capture the stories of Pride Week. We’re also honored to be financial sponsors, ensuring the celebration continues to grow in visibility and impact.
