Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Overview
Triangle gives people with disabilities and members of other vulnerable populations the tools to live dignified, independent, safe, and economically stable lives. We do this by providing employment supports, housing, leadership development and life skills that are tailored to the unique needs and goals of each person we serve. Each year Triangle's programs reach over 3,700 people from 105 New England cities and towns. Triangle is a leader in helping people with disabilities obtain competitive employment. In fiscal year 2016, which concluded June 30, 2016, Triangle helped people with disabilities find 234 paying jobs in their communities. Triangle is also a recognized local and national leader in preventing abuse and violence against people with disabilities. Our IMPACT:Ability program, launched in 2011 with a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, gives people with disabilities the tools to protect themselves from violence while working with disability-specific schools and organizations to strengthen their abuse-related policies and training.
School-to-Career
Triangle’s School-to-Career (STC) program partners with high schools from Saugus and 14 other under-served communities to help special education students participate in community-based career training. The STC program also allows participants to receive the professional placement supports they need to transition into employment or advance their careers.
Career and Community Access
Triangle equips 18-29 year olds with the career exploration experiences and community living skills they need to enjoy more independent lives. On any given day CCA youth might be on the Orange Line learning the MBTA, in a local kitchen making lasagna or on the sales floor at Marshalls learning to provide customer service. We’re proud of CCA youth who are building work experience by working at the Malden YMCA, improving their communities through Service Warriors, and attending classes at Bunker Hill Community College. We currently offer Career and Community Access in Malden.
EPIC
EPIC’s vision is for young people with disabilities transitioning into adulthood to be empowered to embrace their abilities and leadership skills, in order to achieve their goals for gainful employment, higher education and to live healthy lifestyles.
Our Service Warriors are 16-23 year old leaders with disabilities who dedicate a year of their life to discovering greatness through service. The Service Warriors partner with organizations like Boston Parks and Recreation, Community Servings and City Year to make an impact on the community. Throughout the year they also develop their leadership skills by exploring disability history, learning why it is important to vote, and using the arts to express their leadership.
IMPACT:Ability
IMPACT:Ability helps youth develop the verbal and physical safety skills they need to live happy, healthy lives in the community. Our talented IMPACT:Ability instructors – both licensed special educators, one with twenty-years experience as a self-defense instructor – create realistic scenarios where students learn to create safe boundaries, respond to threatening people and report any unsafe experiences to trusted friends.
Career Services
We work one-on-one with career seekers to help them start and advance promising careers at companies like Clarks, Dockside Restaurants, Jiffy Lube, TJ Maxx and Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Whether you are a professional looking to re-enter the workforce, striving to secure your first job, or need a little extra coaching on the new software system at work we can help!
Career Pathways
We connect youth and adult career seekers with credentialed training and provide the comprehensive career development support they need to start working in fast growing professions in the Health Care and Food Service industries. We’re proud to partner with organizations like the American Red Cross to equip Certified Nursing Assistants and Bunker Hill Community College to train Food Preps with their sights set on Sous Chef.
Employment Supports
We provide the coaching small groups of youth and adults need to work successfully in the community. We’re proud to partner with companies like Bluefish Property Group, Boston Retail, Malden Department of Public Works and others who are committed to employing people with ability in the community. When people turn their focus towards a competitive job in the community we also provide the services they need to achieve their goals.
Community Choices & Community All-Stars
These learning communities are designed for people who are focused on living fun, active lives in the community. In the morning our crews might go on a tour at the Museum of Fine Art or learn about seasonal vegetables at a community farm. In the afternoon they may go to a Roman Music Therapy class or wrap up the day with yoga. This teams are always full of energy when they are on their way to learn a new skill or simply enjoy the day in the community.
Residential Services
We provide the challenge and support individuals need to live more independent, dignified lives in their own homes. The people we support in Malden, Beverly, Danvers, North Reading, Peabody and Saugus love pursuing their hobbies, attending religious services, connecting with their neighbors and enjoying life in the community.
