Joan's After Care Workshop is an educational workshop for disabled students between the ages of 13 to

21 in the heart of Chicago, located onthe Southside at 8456 South

Halsted. The workshop is designed to prepare this particular age group

for the workforce through social interactions and work skill

development. What separates Joan's workshop from other similar

shops is that we work with companies that will hire disabled

youth for tasks that are suitable for their abilities. The companies get a number of tax benefits and trained employees who are fit and ready to

work. It is mainly an after-school program that our trained and

certified staff use to reinforce what was learned in school; meanwhile,

taking a special interest in each disability to help match able youth

with a job in the work force. 8456 SOUTH HALSTEDCHICAGO, IL. 60620
