Laura Petri of West Windsor and Jinho Park of Plainsboro were student volunteers from High School North’s LARKS job program recognized for their service at the New Jersey State Library for the Blind and Handicapped in Trenton. The job program is designed to help transition students ages 16 to 21 with multiple disabilities into employment opportunities within the community, while LBH benefits from the work provided by the students.

After the students have experienced on-campus job training, community job sampling is the next phase of the training. The final phase is part-time employment. Stacey Belton is their special education teacher and job coach.
