Midland County ESA

Students from our Post Secondary/TRAILS program were spotted out at their job sites this morning! The MCESA TRAILS program provides meaningful education to students with special needs ages 18-26. MCESA works with a number of community agencies and businesses such as First United Methodist Church, Garber Chevrolet Midland, Pizza Baker, Riverside Place Senior Center, and Washington Woods Senior Living Community to provide paid and unpaid work experiences for students. These experiences also help foster independence. If you are interested in becoming a business partner, contact Jennie Coston at jcoston@midlandesa.org or 989-631-5890, ext. 2140. #mcesabettertogether
