Volunteering for fun!

Posted on August 1, 2016 by Dale Rogers Training Center

Dale Rogers Training Center’s (DRTC) Camp Tumbleweed is winding down, but not without some more fun courtesy of Bishop McGuinness High School’s Social Justice course. Students took a tour of DRTC, learning about our history and what we do at the agency, and then volunteered at Camp T.

BMHS seniors and Camp T campers had a great time playing games! Thank you for volunteering!

Freedom of Transportation

Posted on September 16, 2009 by Dale Rogers Training Center

For millions of Americans, public transportation provides an option to get to work, attend school, visit friends, or go to a doctor’s office. Staff at DRTC knows that using the Metro Transit buses is an important life skill that supports individuals’ success.

Marcia, DRTC Master Scheduler, has been helping groups of individuals learn how to use the Metro Transit by riding the bus to various locations and plotting routes that include transfers and individuals’ homes.

“They feel more independent when they don’t have to depend on others to get places,” said Marcia.

One of the individuals who has been learning how to use the transit, is excited about the freedom the bus could offer him. “I would be able to go on the bus with friends!”

Public transportation training is turning out to be popular and enjoyable. “All of the riders are excited about the increased independence this training provides,” said Jennifer, DRTC’s Vocational Services Coordinator.
