Dan

Community Participation Supports (CPS) has the unique ability to open doors and create opportunities for people. This was true for Dan, now the YMCA’s unofficial mayor and one of their best employees! Through Dan’s CPS service, he was able to regularly engage in fitness activities at his local YMCA and create meaningful connections. It didn’t take long for the YMCA team to recognize Dan’s dedication and work ethic, and he soon became a beloved member of their community.
Dan was searching for a job where he could use his skills in a welcoming and supportive environment when he learned that the YMCA had a vacancy on the Maintenance Team. With the support of his Employment Specialist, Dan completed a working interview where he demonstrated his skills and was hired! Over time, Dan learned the necessary skills to become a valuable member of the YMCA’s maintenance team. Dan’s success at the YMCA is a testament to the power of community and inclusion.
Together, we were able to support Dan in achieving his goals and fulfilling his potential. With the right support and opportunities, everyone can make a difference in their community!
