Immigrant Learning Center honors Malden High School transition students’ volunteerism

A group of Malden High School (MHS) students who regularly visit the nearby Immigrant Learning Center (ILC) at 442 Main St. in Malden Square and assist in various chores and tasks around the facility, this week were honored for their volunteerism with the awarding of certificates of merit and appreciation from The ILC. ILC Executive Director Vincent Rivers (shown above, back row and center) presented the certificates to the students during their regular ILC visit Monday. Sharing in the day were MHS Principal Chris Mastrangelo (back row, second from right), MHS Special Education Transition Coordinator Kelli Collomb (front row, center) and several MHS Education Support Professionals (ESPs). The MHS transition program provides specialized services for students with disabilities (ages 14–22) to support the move from school to post-secondary education, employment and independent living. It focuses on individualized goals (IEP) and includes community-based, vocational training and functional academics to enhance student independence. (Courtesy/Malden High School)
