TYPE OF INQUIRY: Volunteer Opportunities

MESSAGE: 
My name is Katie Saffer. I work with MOCEANS Center for Independent
Living (MOCEANS CIL), a nonprofit serving Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
We support students with disabilities as they transition out of high
school and into postsecondary education, training, and employment. A
core part of our mission is helping students gain meaningful,
real-world work experience in fields they’re interested in, within
the communities where they live.

Through grant funding, MOCEANS operates a fully funded paid internship
program for students ages 14–21. Students enter the program after
completing workplace readiness training and are placed in settings
aligned with their career goals. Interns are paid directly through
MOCEANS at no cost to the host site, and each student is supported by
a dedicated skills trainer, along with vocational rehabilitation
oversight, to ensure strong professional skills, communication,
self-advocacy, and overall success throughout the placement.

With confidentiality in mind, I’m currently supporting highly
motivated students that have an interest in pursuing careers in
Nursing and Physical Therapy.

Internships typically involve approximately 150 hours of on-site,
work-based learning, can begin as early as next month, and are
designed to be mutually beneficial—supporting students’ career
development while strengthening the future workforce pipeline in our
community.

If this sounds like something worth discussing, I’d love to connect
further by phone or Google Meet at your convenience, or be directed to
the best person on your team to continue the conversation. I’m happy
to answer any questions or share additional details.

Thank you so much for your time, I look forward to hearing back from
you,
