Your donation toward a new Calais School van will support more students like Chelsea C. in their pursuit of independence and giving back. 

Chelsea spent three prosperous years enrolled in Calais’ 12+ Program. She went on to participate in various Work-Based Learning Experiences that lead her to pursue an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Hospitality Management at The County College of Morris. With this degree, Chelsea wants to repay all she’s received from her experience at Calais by opening her own business and employing others with special needs.

By next school year, Calais’ 12 Plus program is expected to expand by 50%. An additional van will give more students the opportunity to explore career paths, pursue college degrees and certification programs at County College of Morris and be immersed in tailored work-based learning experiences.

On behalf of all of us at The Calais Foundation and The Calais school, thank you for investing in our students and our mission!
