Renoites- The Podcast about Reno Nevada
Society & Culture
The mission of the JUSTin HOPE Foundation is to give hope to families and individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities by promoting inclusion and creating opportunities through education/training and family support to maximize the individual’s potential.
On this episode of Renoites, we welcome the executive director of the foundation, Maricela Gutierrez Rodriguez. Some of the topics covered include the difference between competitive employment and sub-minimum wage, the under-recognized "superpowers" of some employees with disabilities, the benefits of socializing and networking events, and how various services and programs can benefit entire families and communities as well as disabled individuals.
