Eight years ago, HOT began supplementing a job-training program in Martin County, Florida where 27 developmentally disabled high school seniors interned at local businesses. HOT’s grant pays the students nominal wages based on their performance and diligence. A total of 62 children now participate and are learning about “real life.” The children open savings accounts through the program and save a portion of the money they earn that goes towards a year-end trip. Another class was added to the Dollar a Day program and we used undesignated funds of $11,180 this year. We will not be expanding this program any further without designations of $180 (amount of school days) per child.
