We Are Great Too

Young Adults with Special Needs have dreams just like everyone else. Look at the video below of Rennie, the son of the We Are Great Too organizer.

Please check with your employer to see if they will provide a special work or intern opportunity for a young adult with special needs. Employers can learn information about employing and providing internships for young adults with special needs at this United States government site:

WE ARE GREAT TOO SHOUTN JOB FAIR FOR DISABLED YOUNG ADULTS

My oldest son is 24 and has never had a job. He's interviewed for a few, but never been hired although he would love to have a permanent job and a permanent work family. He is no different from my other two sons -- who do not have disabilities. They all love being with friends, listening to music, making Mom and Dad proud, hanging out with friends, going to the movies, traveling, and want to be a big success in life. But my oldest needs help because of his disability. He is smart, handsome, and can perform a myriad of tasks if given the chance.

So Sisters Supporting Sisters, www.sisterssupport.org is taking on the task and organizing a SHOUTN (Success, Hope, Overcome, Use Your Power, and Take Charge)

Job fair

to be held in October during Disability Employment Awareness month.

We need human resource people from Corporations to come.

We need Corporations to sponsor the event and

We need a grand -- because Disabled Young Adults are grand -- place to have it.

The work begins now.

Please contact us at www.wearegreattoo@gmail.com and refer us to corporations who will participate, sponsor, or provide a grand place to have it.

Sisters Supporting Sisters is excited about hosting this event.

WE ARE GREAT TOO

People with disabilities constantly scream, "We Are Great Too".  They want the world to understand they deserve to work, love, have fun just like the rest of the world.  This site is dedicated to sharing their scream with the media, government officials, non-profits, and organizations that are responsible for serving them.  The We Are Great Too program is sponsored by www.sisterssupport.org which was founded by Meme Kelly, a mother of a 24 year old, handsome, smart, loving young man, who constantly screams We Are Great Too.
