Today at City Hall, we held a meet-and-greet with our newest Project SEARCH interns: Reagan, Dom, and Annie. Reagan's rotation has him working at City Hall, Dom is helping out at Public Works, and Annie is spending her internship at the River Falls Public Library. We're so thankful to continue our partnership with Project SEARCH, which started in 2022 when River Falls became the first local government in Wisconsin to participate in the transition-to-work program. Project SEARCH provides training and career exploration opportunities to young adults with disabilities during a one-year employment preparation program.
