Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Human Services, Personal Social Services
Mission: Providing support to individuals with disabilities and their communities through education, employment, and the arts.
Programs: College coaching: evolve supported 35 individuals in their efforts to build skills for independence as they transition to college or while they are enrolled in a college program. Services include but are not limited to individual sessions on students' campuses, group sessions with peers, peer mentoring support, and phone support with organization and self-advocacy outside of sessions. Five students graduated in 2017 and all five have found jobs. Four of those individuals have found jobs commensurate with their post-secondary degrees in fields including hvac, bioengineering, information science and computer science.
employment coaching for people with disabilities: fourteen individuals were served in gaining first-time work experiences including job shadowing and paid temporary work, finding longtime work, and maintaining employment. Coaches supported individuals with identifying areas of interest for work, creating resumes, practical support with soft skills for the work environment, and self-advocacy in the workplace including when/how/if to disclose a disability.
growth towards independence program: ten individuals received over 200 hours of support towards their individualized goals for independence via one-on-one sessions, group work, collaboration with teams, and additional outside support from evolve coaches such as phone support between sessions, workplace consultations and trainings, and parent support. All participants in this program received services at a greatly reduced rate determined by their financial need.
