The Able Trust is pleased to announce the expansion of the High School/High Tech (HS/HT) program with the addition of four new sites. Sponsored by The Able Trust since 2000, HS/HT is an after-school enrichment program that provides students with disabilities in grades nine through twelve with an opportunity to explore careers in science, technology, engineering and math. Students in this program learn about high-tech careers by participating in activities including corporate site visits, job shadowing days, tours of high-tech centers and summer internships.
The four developing sites are: Pensacola Pen Wheels serving Escambia County, Ability 1st serving Taylor County, Bethune-Cookman College serving Volusia County and Orange County Public Schools serving Orange County. The twelve continuing sites are: Center for Independent Living of North Central Florida serving Marion County; Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida serving Lee County; Children's Haven and Adult Community Services serving Sarasota and Manatee counties; Space Coast Center for Independent Living serving Brevard County; Independent Living Resource Center serving Duval County; Center for Independent Living of North Central Florida serving the city of Gainesville; Madison County School Board serving Madison County; Center for Independent Living of Broward County serving Broward County; Ability 1st serving Leon County; Center for Independent Living of North Central Florida serving Alachua County; Hillsborough County School Board serving Hillsborough County; and Brevard Schools Foundation serving Brevard County.
The Able Trust has awarded $328,000 in grants to continue and expand the HS/HT program. For more information about the Florida HS/HT program, contact the State Coordinator Donna Mundy at flhsht@aol.com.
