 Happy October, JFY Community!
This month, we continue to celebrate National Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month, and begin observing many other celebrations such as LGBTQ+ History Month, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Filipino American History Month, and National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM).
At Jobs for Youth, we believe in striving for inclusivity everywhere, and that everyone deserves equitable opportunity to employment, which is why we want to highlight NDEAM. People with disabilities have faced a tremendous amount of employment discrimination, which National Disability employment Awareness Month aims to raise awareness for, and to celebrate the many contributions folks with disabilities have made to society.
NDEAM’s purpose is to confirm our commitment to ensuring disabled workers have access to good jobs, every month of every year. That’s the spirit behind this year’s official theme: “Access to Good Jobs for All.”
If you are interested in learning about ways you can get involved in advocacy for people with disabilities within San Mateo County, please be sure to visit the County of San Mateo's Commission on Disabilities webpage!
