A community-based vocational and independent living training program helping aspiring young adults with unique intellectual and developmental barriers in the workforce encounter sustainable employment
We are going outside the norm to provide a higher quality of service to both our aspiring participants and their potential employers. We believe that behavior is communication. Therefore we seek to explore the communication needs of our participants.
We bridge the gaps by developing alternative and augmentative forms of communication to help strengthen their functional wellness at work and their entire support network. In so doing, we empower our participants to discover sustainable employment in the community.

Meet our new virtual community outreach coordinator
Nancy Estrada is a proud, born-and-raised Mexican; a psychologist with the most experience in Human Resources with a focus on recruiting and training in the entertainment and funeral industry. She is a genuine person giving everyone the resources in their hand to meet their goals.
Nancy is the daughter of separated parents and has six siblings counting all of the parts. Her family core values are service, hard-working, and integrity. Since childhood, she has been fascinated with the complexity of the human being, which was the main reason to apply to the Psychology degree at the National Autonomous University of Mexico later. At the end of her BA, she worked with children with language and learning disorders. After that, she started as a trainee in the corporate environment and finished as a Nationwide Recruitment Coordinator in a 5,000 workforce company. She used to be part of the Civil Protection Brigade in her last workplace when the second strongest earthquake hit Mexico City in 2017, bringing her a resilient experience.
Nancy has lived in the US since 2018 and has volunteered in the nonprofit community since then. Some of them are the Latino Community Center and Goodwill. When the pandemic started, she was looking for other virtual volunteer opportunities and found Wide Horizons Inc.. Its mission means a lot for her because of her aunt, who has Downs Syndrome and has seen how people with unique qualities can be exceptional society contributors.
