Please Join the Family Resource Network and the CDO Workforce for our Upcoming Virtual Teen Scene: 

Monday, June 15th, 2020,  2pm-3pm via Zoom 

Are you interested in a summer job or an after-school job? Do you have the skills that an employer might be willing to pay for? Do you know how to get an employer's attention? 

The answer is simple - you need to create your own "personal advertisement" also called a Resume, that shows what you know how to do, things that you like to do, and how that could benefit an employer! 

"The Family Resource Network is excited to partner with Alan Sessions and Kathy DeAngelo of the CDO Workforce to bring a Resume Workshop to our teens! Whether you are looking for a summer job, a part-time job during the school year, a full-time job after high school or volunteer opportunities, we will help guide you through what to include on your resume!

Join us while we talk with CDO Workforce professionals who will give you great tips, show samples of resumes, and help show you the way to make some money."

Otsego Includes statement in response to current events surrounding racial disparity

OtsegoIncludesLogo

"Otsego Includes mission is to build a better community for people of all abilities in Otsego County. And we feel it’s important to acknowledge the increased level of discrimination towards those in the disability community who have dark skin. 

A child who has a disability and dark skin is more likely to be tied down, handcuffed, and physically restrained.

An adult who has a mental health need and has dark skin is more likely to be a victim of a violent encounter with law enforcement.

And a person who has dark skin and a disability is more likely to be arrested than a person with light skin and a disability, and much more likely to be arrested than someone without a disability.

Otsego Includes acknowledges the countless stories of aggression towards those with dark skin in the disability community.

Disability Rights are Human Rights & Dark Skin is Not a Crime.”
