Program Update
Community Assistant Program
We started our month out with a visit from Flagler Cares to help assist with our Community Assistant Program which is open to the residents of the community every Wednesday from 10am-1pm. Flagler Cares provides services on Screening & Referral, Care Coordination, Benefit Assistance & Navigation, SOAR, Housing Assistance, ID Assist, Behavioral Health Programs and Health Marketplace Navigation. With Our Community Assistant Program we’re aiming to be a better resource for those in this community.
Senior Social Hour
Every Tuesday and Thursday from 11am-1pm, we have been hosting Senior Social. This month, we had visits from CarePlus Health Plans and United Health Care, who provided valuable information to our seniors regarding healthcare and wellness. Additionally, we introduced our seniors to chair aerobics and plan to incorporate it more in the upcoming months. On November 21, we hosted a Thanksgiving Luncheon accompanied by a game of bingo. Our Senior Social Hour has been a delightful opportunity for seniors to gather and socialize.

Road to Success Update
The Road to Success (RTS) program has successfully awarded 349 GEDs to date, with 2 students graduating in November. Since the inception of the program, we have achieved a remarkable 98% positive outcome. This month, we invited the Domestic Abuse Council to speak to our students about relationships. Additionally, three RTS students completed their internships at Belle Terre Swim & Racquet Club, the Flagler Youth Center, and Shoreline Turf & Pest Control. We also welcomed a new student intern at the Flagler Youth Center. Notably, our intern placed at Shoreline Turf & Pest Control was offered a full-time position with the company this month. We are continuously seeking partnerships with local companies for internships. Lastly, some of our students, alumni, and community partners joined the RTS staff for our annual Thanksgiving luncheon, held at The Landing Strip. For more information about the GED program or student internships, please contact Brian Willard at 386.437.8279. We extend our warmest wishes to you and your family for a delightful holiday season!
