Kevin hasn’t let learning disabilities slow him down. Working with Innovative, he has gained a lot of experience for his resume with varied positions, such as office assistant and window washer. He’s now been working at MOD Pizza for more than a year, and he loves his job. His duties include: whipping up milkshakes, pouring beer and wine, and busing tables. His favorite part of the lunch rush is manning the cash register, because he loves to make conversation with his customers. Kevin’s co-workers at MOD Pizza have all been supportive of him,“They’re all super nice to me, and they include me as part of the team,” Kevin said, “And the pizza is really good!”
Outside of work, he likes to give back to the community by volunteering for Mentors of Boys, a nonprofit program here in Vancouver. He also participates in soccer and bowling, and has competed in both sports in the Special Olympics for more than five years. His Job Coach, Janna, shared about Kevin, “He’s always excited about learning more. He’s got an amazing work attitude, and is always eager to broaden his horizons.”
