Conklin Center Biography:
About the Center:
Our Students' Success is our Only Goal: Since its inception, the Conklin Center has significantly changed the lives of approximately 1,000 multihandicapped blind young adults. We serve about 65 individuals annually. These people, previously dependent, have learned employment and daily living skills, enabling them to be productive and more self-sufficient. They are young people who could rely on welfare; instead, they choose to work, to earn their own way, and to contribute to their community. Most are Floridians, but students have come to us from the rest of the United States, South America, and the Caribbean.
A Proven Track Record: The Conklin Center takes great pride in the fact that 86% of students who recently completed our vocational training program were gainfully employed, graduated to further academic or vocational training, or gained sufficient skills to be more self-supporting. In recent years, the Center's reputation has generated a substantial increase in requests for services. Incoming students must now wait 9 to 12 months to enter our programs. Although pleased with this growth, the increase had strained our facility, now nineteen years old. With this concern that the quality of future services may be compromised, the Center completed a $3.5 million building renovation and expansion which doubled our capacity in 1997. We are now able to house improved rehabilitation programs, provide more cost-effective services, and maintain the personalized attention essential to our students' success.
Current Expansion Plans: We have started to open a satellite office in Orlando in order to provide Supported Employment and Supported Living services for multihandicapped blind adults in Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Lake Counties. This program will assist these often neglected citizens to obtain and maintain competitive jobs.
We're making a difference: The multihandicapped blind are a neglected segment of our population. Due to their multiple disabilities, they often lead dependent lives, relying on families or institutions to provide for all their needs. Given the chance, however, many can become independent in spite of their difficulties. Lion Millard Conklin realized this and founded the Center in 1979 to offer services that would provide that chance.
THANK YOU!.So many people have given their time, talents and money in the past year to help us succeed. There's so much volunteers can do to help our students succeed! If you would like to contribute in any way, please call us at (904) 258-3441, or e-mail us: .
