In addition, there will be in attendance the Board of Directors, strategic advisors, strategic partners, funders and contributors, as well as businesses interested in filling job openings and diversifying their workforces by joining the Genesis at Work Inclusive Employers Program.
The event, which will be emceed by Fritsch from the Jeff and Jenn Morning Show on Q102, will also feature a Mosaic Artwork Project by students with special needs throughout the Mariemont and Sycamore School Districts.
Bryan Holland founded the Genesis at Work Foundation after witnessing how meaningful work fulfilled his son, Scott, and impacted the lives of those who worked with him and his employer. After seeing the difficulties some in the disabled community face while looking for work and the quality-of-life improvements for both the individuals and their families, Bryan decided to share Scott’s success story.
Currently Scott is following his passion working fall, winter, and spring for the University of Cincinnati Athletic Department in the facilities/operations section. His assigned sports include women’s soccer, volleyball, and basketball, as well as men’s baseball games. As a member of a 4-person team, Scott does set up before the games, works during the games, then breaks down and stows equipment at the end.
“Scott has positively impacted our department in a number of different ways, but I think his uplifting attitude has been so infectious to our staff at every event he works,” Rebecca Michael, Scott’s supervisor said. “He never hesitates to make a friend in both the athletic department and among event staff workers, and always makes doing our job more fun.”
Genesis at Work Foundation is dedicated to helping families caring for those with special needs. By helping these individuals find meaningful work in an inclusive environment, Genesis at Work hopes that those they assist will experience greater meaning, purpose, and hope in their lives.
With no assistance from the government, the Genesis at Work Foundation is planning to provide a helping hand and enrich the lives of families in the
Greater Cincinnati area with special needs through future projects, such as free spiritual life coaches, online content, including video/audio podcasts and blog posts, live and virtual speakers and workshops. Genesis at Work supports people of all faiths and people of no faith.
Genesis at Work will focus their efforts in the first year on the Sycamore and Mariemont School Districts. In future years, the Genesis at Work Foundation will expand the program to other school districts in the Greater Cincinnati area.
