Empowering Employment is excited to welcome a new instructor to the Greenleaf staff, Cornelius Oatis!
Cornelius was among the first to graduate from the Empowering Employment program. During the program, Empowering Employment supported him on the journey to obtaining a communication device, which will assist him in educating the next generation of job seekers.
Cornelius was a peer volunteer last summer for EmpowerU where he supported high school students with activities. He has also been a guest speaker for Greenleaf, presenting at the Synergy Conference and our annual fundraising gala.
Cornelius brings lived experience to the team and many years of experience as a mentor and recreation aide for students with disabilities.
Join us in welcoming Cornelius to our team!
