DOWNEY, Calif. – Twenty five-year-old Laia Jreisat, a lifelong Downey resident and Warren High School alum, has been searching for a job since 2008.
“And she’s still actively looking,” said Luana Acuna, director of vocational services at Arc of Southeast Los Angeles County. “We’re very optimistic. Right now, she’s training and gaining new skills. She hopes to find a job here in Downey so she doesn’t have to go far.”
“I’m good with fashion – I really want to work at Ross,” added Jreisat, a faithful participant of Arc, the nearly 55-year-old Downey organization that provides vital services and training for nearly 350 children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
