It was another successful summer for the Skills for Adult Independent Living, or SAIL, program. The goal is to allow adult age students, 17 to 26 years old, learn how to develop their cognitive abilities to be aware and safe in different roles in the community, through work training.
Program Manager Leslie Kovar says that the Department of Natural Resources administers the most demanding opportunities at area state parks. Part-time work was offered at two new sites this year to great success, Tadych’s Econofoods and Michigan Tech Facilities.
SAIL introduced a new concept for students from Horizons School as well.
Kovar says that group loved the variety offered. In total, 30 students took part in Houghton, Baraga, and Keweenaw Counties, which is close to normal. The last program to wrap up in the region was a crew associated with the UP State Fair near Escanaba.
