[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 470632, member: 11791"] Hi, Steely - Not sure if this is out of line or not, but.. people with challenges and no job skills... hmmm... Around here, there are a number of non-profits that start someone like Matt off as a volunteer. It might be as simple as coming in once a day to sweep the floor, or clean the sinks, or take "tickets" at a fundraiser or help set up chairs for an event - some small task. They work with these people to build them up until they have the confidence to go to school, or at least to challenge a real job somewhere. Matt isn't ready for that yet. He needs to get "out" first, be comfortable being out. But it might not hurt to research volunteer job-skills-development opportunities for when he is ready... [/QUOTE]
