Monmouth County-based FRA celebrates the accomplishments of this year's seven graduates who recently completed the Project SEARCH intern program.
RED BANK, N.J. - s4story -- SURPRISE! Family Resource Associates (FRA), which serves people of all ages who have developmental or acquired disAbilities, recently made impromptu home visits to all seven of this year's Monmouth Medical Center Project SEARCH Interns to celebrate their many accomplishments during this academic school year.
The surprise visits were facilitated by Nancy Phalanukorn, Executive Director of FRA; Phillip Duck, Director of EmployAbility at FRA; Tyler Swiggart, Job Coach at FRA, Jessica Hamburg, Project SEARCH Instructor at FRA, and Julia Siersema, Project SEARCH Skills Trainer at FRA. The FRA team visited the homes of Molly Hebert, Gabe Aquino, Jim Peters, Janet Wells, Kate Danish, Angel Ramos Jr. and Robert Scott.
"It was a joy to be a part of the celebration, acknowledging each intern for all their commitment and accomplishments as they now prepare for employment in the community," said Phalanukorn. "Each intern grew tremendously and it gives us great pride to have been part of that growth."
The interns were just as excited to see the FRA team. During his surprise visit, Angel Ramos Jr. said, "I'm nervous and excited to see you all here… I'm really touched by it." Another intern's mom expressed how the program has made a difference in her daughter Molly's overall growth as a person and she enjoys how she has become an independent thinker.
