Community INclusion Specialist

hi Serena! I’m Payton. I’ll be moving up North to OCB for about 3-6 months. I’d love to visit the Lighthouse occasionally when I’m not receiving instruction. my question is what are programs I’d be able to participate in? is Lighthouse à mon-profit or should I prepare to pay for services?

What does it mean to network in the job world?

I am currently a second year looking to embark on law. BUT I’m interested in pretty much everything, I’d love to do volunteer work, if possible.

For someone looking to become apart of the Lighthouse family, what can we look forward to?

What a great example of networking Serena

Glad to see everyone. Glad to you as well Rachel. One item to add social groups and civic organization have broader outreach on social media.

When would it be appropriate to mention my disability to an (potential) employer?

I understand that in some applications they ask you if you have a disability and I say yes. However, some applications don't say anything about disability. That is why I am asking.
