HIDDEN WINGS IS A FULL TIME PROGRAM FOR ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS BASED ON A RIGOROUS CURRICULUM TO DEVELOP LIFE SKILLS, INDIVIDUALIZED JOB SKILLS, AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. OUR HIGHLY STRUCTURED PROGRAM REFLECTS 10 YEARS OF EXPERIENCES AND STUDIES OF BEST PRACTICES FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY. WITH AN INTIMATE 3 TO 1 RATIO OF STAFF TO PARTICIPANT, OUR PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO ACCELERATE EACH PARTICIPANT'S EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL, PHYSICAL AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT. EACH DAY BEGINS WITH POSTING THE AMERICAN FLAG BEFORE LAUNCHING INTO A HIGHLY STRUCTURED AND INDIVIDUALIZED TRAINING THAT INCORPORATES A VARIETY OF DAILY ACTIVITIES THAT INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, FINANCES, COOKING, RESUME BUILDING, INTERNSHIPS, JOB SHADOWS, RETAIL SKILLS, AGRICULTURE, MICRO BUSINESSES, MUSIC, YOGA, HIKING, AND TAI CHI. THE DESCENT OF THE FLAG CONCLUDES OUR DAY. KEY VALUES IN ALL WE DO ARE KINDNESS, ACCEPTANCE OF ALL, AND WORKING OUTSIDE OUR COMFORT ZONE. THE HIGH EXPECTATIONS OF PARTICIPANTS TO DRESS APPROPRIATELY, REFRAIN FROM VULGAR LANGUAGE, MAINTAIN A CLEAN AND ORGANIZED ENVIRONMENT ENHANCES THE GOAL OF PURPOSEFUL JOB PLACEMENT. HIDDEN WINGS IS COMMITTED TO COACHING EACH PARTICIPANT TO THEIR HIGHEST LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE FOR LIFE SKILLS, JOB SKILLS, AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, IN ORDER TO HAVE A MORE INCLUSIVE AND PURPOSE DRIVEN COMMUNITY.
