OPPORTUNITY ANNUAL REPORT 2014 | OPPORTUNITY DEVELOPMENT CENTERS, INC.

TO OUR SUPPORTERS

Pam Ross ODC President

"We envision communities strengthened and enriched by the abilities and contributions of all members." ODC exists to provide services for people with disabilities, yet it is interesting and important to note that our vision statement does not refer to “people with disabilities”. Instead, it refers to communities, abilities, contributions, and all members... because the reality is, we are all members of our community, whether or not we happen to have a disability. We all have abilities, and we can all contribute these abilities to the betterment of our community.

Lyle Lang Chairperson

People with disabilities are our neighbors, friends, co-workers, and members of our clubs and churches. They are not a separate group of individuals, but instead are part of the very fabric of our community. The theme for this year’s annual report is “A Community of Opportunities”. We see so many opportunities for people with disabilities to work, enjoy community life, and play valued roles in the community. Our annual report highlights just some of the many stories of individuals who are discovering new opportunities and finding success at work and fulfillment in their lives. As we continue to work to make our vision statement a reality, we realize that ODC’s primary role is as a “connector” between employers and individuals who want to work, and between the community and people who want to participate. You all play an important role in creating “A Community of Opportunities"... a community that is inclusive, that embraces our unique “differences” and focuses on all things we have in common.

OUR PROGRAMS ODC’s Community Employment Programs assist individuals in obtaining and maintaining jobs within the community. We explore the person’s interests and evaluate their skills, then thoughtfully match their skills to an employer’s needs. We offer ongoing support for as long as needed to ensure that the relationship is successful for both employer and employee. ODC’s Center-Based Training Programs provide a blend of learning and work experiences designed to prepare individuals to achieve their employment goals. The programs offer a wide variety of work opportunities along with the level of training and support each person needs to perform their job. We adapt and modify jobs so that people at all levels of ability are able to participate and advance toward their personal goals, including employment in the community. ODC’s Day Services Program provides life skills training and facilitates inclusion, participation and contribution in all aspects of community life. Classes in adult life activities such as cooking, shopping, laundry and money management assist individuals in becoming more independent. Introduction to clubs, organizations and volunteer opportunities allows participants to explore their areas of interest and make the connections they need to become more involved in their communities.

AARON'S JOURNEY “Art told me that he’d never thought about his son working,” said Hendershot. “I said, ‘Let’s get him involved in skills training for one hour per week and see how he does’... and he has blown us out of the water!” During his hour on the ODC work floor, Aaron was immediately extremely productive, as if to say, “I’m here to work... I’m learning the skills and I’m going to implement them.”

“He is thriving on learning new things."

Aaron’s first day at ODC was one to remember... mainly because it was really just a short time ago, and yet Aaron has come so far. “The day he joined us, he had severe separation anxiety,” said Kevin Hendershot, ODC Special Services Director. “Aaron’s dad was a truck driver, and everywhere that dad went, Aaron went with him – they were a ‘unit’. And so, in September 2013, Aaron’s first day of Day Services programming was spent sitting alone, refusing to get up, interact or communicate. But, as Hendershot describes it, ODC staff were “consistent, persistent and creative”. “When he came to us,” said Hendershot, “the big question was, ‘What are Aaron’s abilities, and how can we enhance those abilities?’” Progress came in small steps, drawing Aaron out of his shell. One day early on, he sat on the floor with a staff member, rolling a ball back and forth between them – and he began to laugh like no one had heard him laugh.

“It was a belly laugh,” said Hendershot, “and it was infectious. Everyone was laughing with him because he was so happy!” Day Services staff began to provide Aaron with choices to structure his day – community outings, arts and crafts, or using a “smart board” to learn computer skills. From there, he began to develop relationships with his peers and build trust with staff. Aaron, who is non-verbal, found ways to communicate with staff about what he was enjoying and what he wanted. Each day, it seemed he wanted more. So Hendershot and Aaron’s father, Art, sat down with Aaron and began to talk about work.

“The progress he’s made is absolutely phenomenal,” said Hendershot. “He is thriving on learning new things. He knows that this is a job and it has to get done. He is so engaged, wanting to learn more and wanting to do more. Each time we introduce a new task, he is excited to do it!” “I’m so glad that we chose ODC,” said Art. “He loves going there, and he’s doing so well. He’s matured so much that he’s become a totally different person. I can definitely see a major improvement in his attitudes, his cooperation and his understanding – he’s just doing so well.” “He’s just such a good young man,” said Art. “I wouldn’t give him up for the world. He makes my whole life complete.” /////

486 individuals

with disabilities were served by ODC in 2014, compared to 472 in 2013. Many of the individuals served participated in multiple programs; in 2014, these 486 individuals participated in 611 program experiences, compared to 594 in 2013. 3

To answer that question, Ulrich created ODC’s Convenience Store Certificate of Competency Program, a project that will be funded by a 2015 Wisconsin Fast Forward grant for worker training. The grant, one of a number of grants to provide training for

shown to be ideal job matches for individuals with significant employment barriers and opportunities for them to obtain meaningful employment that matches their career goals... and her concept of a Certificate of Competency Program was born. The program brings together a number of community partners including ODC and Weiler stores, Mid-State Technical College in Marshfield, the Wisconsin Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), and Community Care Connections of Wisconsin (CCCW). The idea is innovative: ODC and Weiler stores will work with Mid-State to develop a curriculum that includes the essential functions of a service

industry position – inventory management, stocking, customer service, store maintenance, cashiering and the like. ODC staff will identify individuals with an interest in a service industry career and, utilizing this curriculum, provide on-site education and training at Weiler stores. Upon completion of the training, individuals will be “tested” on all essential functions, and Weiler and her support staff will “sign off” on the Certificate of Competency. “The certificate will assist candidates in their job search in any retail setting, not just convenience stores,” said Sara Schueller, ODC Vocational Services Manager. She and Lynn Haefer, ODC Director of Employment Services, are coordinating the program. “For many individuals we work with,” said Schueller, “selling themselves is not their strength, and their resume doesn’t accurately depict their skill set. This certificate will be their ‘proof’, their way of saying ‘I’ve been evaluated and assessed, and I have these skills.’” ODC’s employment team, DVR and CCCW will combine efforts to secure employment in this career path for individuals who graduate with Certificates of Competency. “This certificate will open doors to a career opportunity for individuals who complete the program,” said Schueller. “It will not only help people with disabilities, but will help the retail industry to fill positions that are difficult for them to fill with really qualified individuals who want to be there and really enjoy this type of work.” “We envision this training model starting with this one initiative,” said Ulrich, “and expanding to additional employers, different industries and other communities throughout the state.” /////

Weiler Convenience Store has been working with ODC to provide temporary work opportunities for individuals like Dan, who was ultimately hired by the business in June 2014. The Weiler store will now be the educational site for ODC’s Certificate of Competency Program.

PROJECT SEARCH Talk to Ann Lepak about Project SEARCH and her eyes light up. “Excited,” said Lepak, ODC Director of Employment Services. “Everyone is just so excited!” In 2014, ODC became one of just seven agencies to be awarded a new Project SEARCH partnership program in Wisconsin. Project SEARCH is a high school transitional program for students ages 18-21 who have intellectual disabilities. Students in the program spend their final year of high school focusing entirely on transitioning into the world of work. The program will be based in Wisconsin Rapids. As the lead agency, ODC will coordinate the program with partners Riverview Hospital, the Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools (WRPS) and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR). Riverview Hospital will serve as the host business, providing student internships within a wide variety of hospital departments and providing space for classroom instruction. WRPS will work in collaboration with the Port Edwards and Nekoosa school districts to identify students that will benefit from the Project SEARCH model. They will also dedicate a full-time classroom instructor to the program. According to Lepak, the partners meet monthly for a planning

Members of the Wisconsin Rapids Project SEARCH team received a visit from Project SEARCH founder Erin Riehle as they prepared to begin the planning process. Pictured are (L to R): Molly Michels, State Project SEARCH Coordinator; Stefanie Tryba, WRPS Project SEARCH instructor; Christina Williams, Riverview Hospital; Jen Pelot, ODC Job Trainer; Erin Riehle, Project SEARCH founder; Candy Munro, ODC Job Trainer; Jane Walczak, Riverview Hospital; and Ann Lepak, ODC Director of Employment Services.

“When I was first approached about the Project SEARCH program, Logan had already been out of high school for two years. He had a pretty difficult time in school, so when it was explained to me that the program was five days per week, running in conjunction with the school calendar, with classes part of the day and work part of the day, I said, ‘I just don’t think it’s for him.’ Then I was approached again… when I learned more about the program, I was really on the fence. I knew how good the program was, and I wanted it to be successful. I was afraid that Logan would fail and that this would reflect negatively on Project SEARCH.

would like to offer Logan a spot in the program, I had very mixed emotions. The first day, he was nervous, but when I picked him up at the end of the day he said, ‘hmmm, not so bad,’ which for him is like a huge compliment! He never complained… and at the end of the first week, Logan referred to someone as his friend. He has never referred to anyone as his friend. I thought that was just the most wonderful thing and I thought, even if this doesn’t work out, it was all worth it just for that one moment.

Then I spoke with Project SEARCH staff… they would look at Logan’s high school transcripts and talk with some of his teachers. They would also interview Logan. I said to myself, ‘They can see if it will be a good fit, and I won’t be the one to hold back.’

He would tell me how he would ask his instructor questions… he has never asked anyone a question unless it’s myself or my father, who is a big influence in his life. For him to have just met this person and felt comfortable asking her questions… it was just amazing.

When the staff called and said that they

begun working with hospital departments on developing internship locations within the hospital. The first informational program for prospective Project SEARCH participants and their families was hosted at the hospital as well. “The program was an opportunity for parents and students to learn about Project SEARCH and the process of applying for the program,” said Lepak. “Interested students will now have to complete an application and participate in a skills assessment, which will help us to determine their skills, abilities and interests. They will then interview with members of the Project SEARCH team.”

According to Lepak, one of the most influential presentations at the informational program was given by Michelle Waterman, mother of a Marshfield Project SEARCH graduate. Since 2011, ODC has partnered with Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital, the Marshfield School District and DVR on a Project SEARCH program in Marshfield. ODC’s role within the new Wisconsin Rapids program will duplicate our responsibilities within the Marshfield program: to provide job coaching services for participating students, which are funded by DVR, and to work with students to secure permanent employment after graduation. ODC’s Employment Services team often continues to provide job coaching for students after employment, with funds provided by CCCW. Project SEARCH is an internationally recognized model of employment training for young adults with disabilities. The program was developed in 1996 by Nurse J. Erin Riehle, then the director of the emergency department at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC). As the flagship program, CCHMC provides technical assistance for replication and overall leadership to Project SEARCH worldwide. /////

seen such a transformation. He’s become so different. It’s a wonderful program, and was a wonderful opportunity for my son. Had I known, I would never have been on the fence.”

There were things we thought he was going to like and he ended up not liking, because it wasn’t for him and he struggled. But it was a wonderful experience – not doing well in one internship area, then having the opportunity to go into another area and flourish. Even the negatives turned out to be positives.

It’s hard for him to meet new people. When one of the internships ended and he’d have to move to another, it took him awhile to warm up. Starting over and leaving something go, and then being faced with a brand new situation and brand new people, forced him to face his fears. I almost hated to see him graduate… I had

Editor's Note: Logan was a 2013 graduate of the Project SEARCH program in Marshfield. While in the program, he interned in the hospital’s security, education, and food/nutrition departments. After his rotation experiences, he determined that his interests lie in clerical work such as data entry, scanning and filing. Logan wanted to wait for a great job match as opposed to taking “just any job” and his mother agreed; in September 2014, he was hired to work part-time, five days per week in the office of Prevention Genetics in Marshfield. /////

were served through ODC's center-based work training programs, which are designed to move individuals forward on their path to community employment.

There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Amara is going places! “I remember that she was mad at me because ODC was closed for the holidays,” said Breanna Studinski, ODC Transition Coordinator. “She said, ‘I want to work! You can’t close the building!’”

said, ‘You’re the best boss ever!’” “On her first day in the kitchen, we helped her tie her apron on and she was absolutely glowing,” said Toni Koeshall, ODC Kitchen Job Facilitator. “I thought she would jump out of her skin, she was so excited!”

Hidden Creek Kitchen is a fully-licensed commercial kitchen with locations in ODC’s Wisconsin Rapids and Marshfield centers. Amara came to ODC from Florida, where Created in 2010, the business provides she had worked for 10 years in a custodial training in skills that are easily transferable position at a small business. The move to to community employment. Koeshall’s role Wisconsin was disruptive for Amara, so like involves instructing individuals in all facets many of the individuals served by ODC, of hospitality work: food preparation and she started her new career in the ODC work presentation, customer service, cashiering center, brushing up on both her work skills and the “soft” skills necessary to be successful and clean-up. Trainees serve not only those who work at ODC but members of the public in employment … and learning some new who request catering or stop in to pick up skills as well. lunch. “She absolutely loves working in ODC’s “Amara has such a positive aura around her,” Hidden Creek Kitchen,” said Studinski. “We said Studinski. “She is so motivated to work had set that as a goal, and when I gave her the news that she was scheduled to start, she and focused on her work; she wants to make 8

her employers happy so she’ll go above and beyond.” As her instructor, Koeshall agrees. “Amara has excelled,” said Koeshall. “I’m excited to see how many of the kitchen tasks she will be comfortable with, because I think she can master them all.” According to Studinski, Amara has really grown and blossomed with these new opportunities, and community employment is definitely in her near future. “Wherever she chooses to work,” said Studinski, “she will change the culture of the whole organization. Just her positive attitude and the way she interacts with other people.” And anyone who sees Amara in action knows that there is no bigger smile on her face than when she carries a big tray of sandwiches she has wrapped and priced to the kitchen cooler. ///// Opportunity Development Centers, Inc.

WORK CREWS On the day that John Benbow began talking with us about ODC work crews, he just happened to have one working at the business he manages at that very moment.

we can act very quickly and have several individuals that are trained to do what needs to be done. Then we know that the work will be done, and it will be done with good quality.”

“I called Ann Lepak yesterday at noon,” said John, “and she had a crew there for me bright and early this morning!”

According to Lepak, ODC work crews allow individuals to gain work experience, a reference and sometimes, permanent employment. In the process, businesses get the help that they need.

Benbow manages Manilla Gorilla, a fulfillment company in Wisconsin Rapids. Not only has he hired an individual through ODC Employment Services, he also utilizes ODC work crews during their seasonal busy periods and for special projects, and he calls Lepak, ODC’s Director of Employment Services, when he needs workers. “When I first started managing the business, about two years ago, we were using staffing agencies,” said Benbow. “They do fulfill a need, but the dependability isn’t there. Working with ODC, I’m able to get workers or work crews there on very short notice, sometimes less than a day.” “We can act very quickly to help a company,” said Lepak. “We work with them to get a good understanding of what their needs are, what the job entails, and what skills the workers need to be to be successful. Knowing what skill set an employer needs at their company,

“Many of the businesses that have made direct hires have done so with individuals that started out in work crews at their business,” said Lepak. “They see that there are one or two crew members that really stand out and fit in well, and that leads to a hire!” “The individuals that go out on work crews bring back some excitement to ODC,” she said, “and they spread the word about what it’s like to work in the community. It’s a big deal for people to have those opportunities, to try something new in a “safer” environment, in the company of other ODC workers or staff members. Work crews are a great way for individuals to try out different types of jobs that they might not otherwise have thought to try, or been willing to try.” “I know I can count on ODC - when they say they’ll be there at 9:00 a.m., they’ll be there

at 9:00 a.m.,” said Benbow. “When I started working at Manilla Gorilla, I began working more and more with ODC because I was fed up with temporary employees, and not getting the quality of worker that I get at ODC.” “ODC will also send someone in to supervise the crew for you, to make sure that everything is done right,” he said. “You don’t have to figure out hours or do time sheets... they pay work crew members and just bill you for their services.” “When we hire people from ODC,” he said, “we’re really helping our community, we’re helping South Wood County and we’re helping people here. We always talk about shopping locally... it’s the same with employment. We want people in our hometown employed. It’s good for our business and good for the community.” Benbow’s advice to Central Wisconsin businesses? “Welcome ODC,” he said, “and don’t be afraid of the word ‘disability’. ODC workers are very dedicated; they care a lot about what they do, and they will care about your company. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.” /////

2014 Annual Report - A Community of Possiblities

EXPLORING COMMUNITY OPPORTUNITIES On a cold Tuesday morning, ODC worker Nick and his classmates sat down at the Marshfield Public Library and embarked on their first step toward community employment. They were participating in the first session of a 15-week program called Community Career Exploration.

“Sometimes, they even get to see fellow ODC workers at their community jobs. It helps them to walk away with a clearer understanding of the opportunities that are available to them.”

“The goal of the program is to show participants what working in the community is like,” said Miranda Gregory, ODC Transition Coordinator. It relieves fear by exposing the ‘unknown’.”

“At first, many participants are very hesitant,” she said. “They are unable to identify the types of work or workplaces that interest them. By the end of the program, they have an understanding of what types of work happen where, and know that they could be the person bringing out fast food orders, or scanning documents at the bank, or stocking shelves at Target… and the list goes on.”

Each week, the two-hour session is held at a different business or organizational location within the community. Participants discuss a selected topic each week, ranging from applications and resumes to reliability and workplace communication skills. They also tour the location to learn what types of jobs are available in that field, and have the opportunity to talk with those who work there. According to Gregory, participants are typically individuals who are reluctant to express interest in community employment because of fear or a lack of self-confidence. They might also be interested in community employment but unsure of their options for employment.

Gregory sees the individual’s growth that comes with each new session.

Community employment involves meeting and interacting with new people, and for many program participants, the fear that comes with that prospect is very real. “They wonder how they will be treated by people and whether or not they will be accepted,” said Gregory. “As we meet with kind and helpful employers each week, I see some of those walls come down.” /////

“We give them the opportunity to learn about places of employment and hear from employers in the community,” said Gregory.

Job Club meets once per month at the ODC center and all ODC workers are welcome to attend. This group’s lively discussion surrounded interviewing skills; participants watched as two mock interviews were held – one good, one bad – and afterward, had a chance to critique those interviews.

“So many of those who participate in Job Club have coworkers at ODC who are employed in the community,” said ODC Employment Facilitator Alice Wallner, who coordinates club activities. “It’s the ‘domino effect’ – they see someone else is working and being successful, and they believe that they can do it, too.”

Wallner also coordinates a Social Skills program, a 16-week course surrounding topics including honesty, cooperation, respect and responsibility, stress management, harassment and bullying, gossip, goal-setting, personal appearance and conflict resolution. /////

What we have realized by hiring these two individuals is that not only do they contribute to the overall workforce, their attitudes bring a huge boost to kitchen morale. They love what they do and they’re proud of what they do... we see their passion in their work. By having both Joe and Stacey work at our business, we’ve learned that disabilities

I have watched Jim grow over the last four years and he has really turned into a model employee. For me to see that success... it’s been wonderful to be a part of. My wish would be that every employer in the Marshfield community and outlying areas would really consider working with ODC. It has been a wonderful experience for my company... my other employees love Jim, and he has really integrated perfectly into our business.

aren’t really a very remarkable thing. Everybody has limitations, everybody has strengths. When you can find the strengths within an individual, they can make a big contribution to whatever they do in life. We’ve also learned that a positive attitude from people can affect the whole work environment. These two individuals have really done something to affect a positive attitude on all of our staff. They set a good example for others to follow. They have changed the culture of our kitchen – they are just part of the gang!

We wish that our community as a whole could work together as well as I think our kitchen does with Joe and Stacey as a part of it. You can’t change the world, but you can certainly change the culture in your own community, and you can change the environment in your own workplace. They have done that, and we hope that we have changed their world for the better as well. Together, all of us realize the success of our business.” Paul & Rita Meier, Owners Blue Heron Brew Pub & West 14th Restaurant
