Volunteer in LLEC's Vocational Program- working on day-to-day needs including overseeing clients, and or sourcing new vocational locations in the community to provide essential skill building opportunities.

At LLEC, our clients often possess excellent specialized skills in a variety of areas (e.g., adherence to schedule, attention to detail, low attrition rate, receptive to repetitive tasks, determination). In spite of these areas of strength, securing employment for our clients once they have successfully completed their training may present challenges due to characteristics of autism, such as social skills deficits, repetitive behaviors, and narrow areas of interest. These challenges may be overcome through coaching and facilitation, as provided by the Living & Learning Enrichment Center.

We partner with local businesses such as Maybury Farm, Fresh Thyme, Rebecca’s Restaurant, First Centennial Title, and Studio 170 to give our clients an on the job training opportunity with one of our mentors.
