Through Davis Development, Tampa, FL, resident Cliff J. Davis has helped bring numerous assisted living facilities to the state of Florida. Cliff Davis also supports younger people with special needs through his charitable work. Tampa, FL-based businessman Cliff Davis is a board member for PARC, a not-for-profit which assists both children and adults living with developmental diseases.
One of the ways PARC aims to empower young people with disabilities is through its Project SEARCH program, which aims to help garner internship opportunities for students aged 18-22. Students gain marketable job skills by working with an employment coach, special education teacher, and a rehabilitation counselor.
The program includes three 10-week internships in different departments at All Children’s Hospital John Hopkins Medicine. Inserted between a pair of classroom sessions, students spend as much as five hours a day in environmental, food, and rehabilitation services, with the end goal of finding work locally at the end of the program.
Project SEARCH began in Cincinnati and is now active in 42 states. PARC introduced the program in October of 2014.
