The Learning for Life program at Haverhill High School will benefit from a daylong fundraiser May 1.
Aroma Joe’s, 727 S. Main St., Haverhill, will donate 20% of its proceeds on Friday, May 1, to the program that helps students, ages 18-22, find career paths and learn independent living skills.
The Learning for Life program is managed by the Haverhill school’s Special Education Department. Curriculum is designed to help older students transition from school to meaningful employment. Students participate in shadow activities to assess interest in different types of jobs, and learn independent living skills such as money management, how to grocery shop and the importance of personal hygiene.
This the third consecutive year of the franchise’s give-back program to Haverhill High School. The shop says it is part of its overall commitment to inclusive employment of individuals of all abilities.
