 Why Project Search?

Project SEARCH at Easterseals Redwood is more than a job training program, it is an opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of young adults with disabilities as they transition from school to adulthood. Through a combination of classroom instruction, individualized coaching, and hands-on internships, participants gain the confidence, skills, and real-world experience needed to achieve greater independence and meaningful employment.

For professionals who are passionate about empowering others, Project SEARCH offers the chance to mentor, encourage, and celebrate life-changing milestones every day. By helping young adults discover their strengths, overcome barriers, and succeed in the workplace, you play a direct role in creating brighter futures, stronger communities, and a workforce where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

 

In this role, you will support students as they gain real-world work experience through internships at local employer sites, helping them build confidence, develop workplace skills, and prepare for successful careers. You will provide hands-on coaching, mentorship, and individualized guidance while partnering with employers to create meaningful employment opportunities. From supporting students during their job rotations to helping them secure competitive community employment, you will play a vital role in helping individuals achieve greater independence, inclusion, and long-term success.
