CDC
programs have been offered to students since 1982
and have included placements in a wide variety of
community service and work experiences in
business, social service and health agencies,
government, education, and service industries.
Programs occur throughout the year, lasting in
duration according to students’ needs. Each
program is designed to fit the individual’s
talents, prior training, background, skills and
personal goals.
CDC programs exist in such diverse
fields as peer tutoring, ballet lessons, computer
mentoring, volunteering at a medical facility, and
respite training. The possibilities are as diverse
as the needs of the students. Students receive
school credit based on the time given to the
placement site or project.
Many students use the
vast CDC options to explore possible career
choices or personal passions. Students who have
decided on specific careers, use the CDC programs
to strengthen future job skills and gain a
competitive edge in the job market. Whatever the
students’ motivations, CDC programs have been
highly successful educational experiences and the
CDC is committed to expanding the program still
further.
