Description
In a new CBS 8 series called Working for our Community, we feature a lot of the good happening across San Diego County by shedding light on area non-profits.
At the TERI Campus of Life, children and adults with special needs get to thrive.
William Ranzolin for example, is good with people, quick on his feet and on the autism spectrum. He is a barista now at the Common Grounds Cafe and Coffee Bar in San Marcos.
"It really empowers you and helps people with special needs. It helps people like me, find a place in society," William said.
As the Oceanside campus merges with a new one in San Marcos, TERI will soon be able to offer even more services. For example, paid internships that come with a job coach.
"We have openings in culinary, barista, equestrian, organic farming and more. So we have a lot of opportunities and we're looking to expand. We're also looking for businesses who want to have interns," Meredith McDermott said, who is the Assistant Director for the Center for Arts and Adult Education.
The sprawling property in the Twin Oaks Valley features all of that - right there. There will soon be 20 programs on their 20 acres, including group homes, fitness classes, a performing art center and a school designed for each individual student. They currently serve 900 kids and adults.
