WHO BENEFITS?

The Vocational, Education and Special Training Program

The Vocational, Education and Special Training Program (V.E.S.T.) serves developmentally delayed adolescents and young adults in the Essex County area. Housed in the Bloomfield Middle School, V.E.S.T. works with youngsters aged 15-21 with the goal of providing the means to make the students independent and employable.

Funds raised on behalf of V.E.S.T. are used to procure equipment and services. Computerized manufacturing and assembly machines as well as the most current vocational assessment services are on the V.E.S.T. wish list and the SUNSET CLASSIC proceeds will be put to good use.

The V.E.S.T. Program seeks community support to reach its goals and thanks all SUNSET CLASSIC participants and sponsors for their support.

For information concerning the V.E.S.T. Program, call Team Leader, Rick Peterson at 973-338-0208.
