Faith, RISE Participant

“Having the opportunity to complete a work experience at Peavey Mart has improved my work skills. Because they are so nice and supportive, it’s been easy to have a good work attitude."

Faith is a participant in the LFS DaCapo Disability Services RISE program, Reaching Independence through Skills & Employment. RISE is a skills-centered employment program for adults with developmental disabilities, where they can meet their self-determined employment goals in a supportive environment. With the assistance of Community Employment Practitioners like Janessa, folks like Faith can obtain and succeed in competitive and meaningful employment.

"My co-workers at Peavey Mart are very good at teaching and understanding how I learn. Having a positive work experience improves my mindset and gets me into a better routine.”

Thank you to Peavey Mart Lethbridge for supporting our RISE participants with work opportunities.
