EDUCATION AND GROWTH
Work is a central part of Casa de Amma life. All residents are employed or
participate in vocational and community experiences. For some this means
a paid job while for others it may be a volunteer position.
We work with the Department of Rehabilitation and local employment
agencies to provide employment placement, training and support.
Examples of industriesinclude customer service, retailand administrative positions.
Some residents however, choose to volunteer for local groups such as the San Clemente
Animal Shelter or Brighton Gardens. Saddleback Community College and Saddleback
Adult Education offer a variety of classes for skill acquisition or fun.
Residents are taught to compile a resume, problem solve, how to be a team
playerand take constructive criticism, and many other social nuances.
They also learn touse public and Para transit to access the
community and employment.
