Student volunteers from the West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North LARKS job program were recognized for their service at the New Jersey State Library for the Blind and Handicapped in Trenton. The job program is designed to help transition students ages 16-21 with multiple disabilities into employment opportunities within the community, while LBH benefits from the work provided by the students. After the students have experienced on-campus job training, community job sampling is the next phase of the training. Finally, when all goals are met, gainful, part-time employment is the final phase.
