About the Author

My Name is Robert Hoel i am a second year Mechanical Engineering major and a LEAD scholar, special needs has always held a special place in my heart so being apart of Dr Malarets class has given me the opportunity to continue that passion

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

The purpose of this project is to explore how the Opportunity, Community, Ability (OCA) organization impacts the lives of individuals with a range of special needs, helping them develop new skills and strengthen those they may struggle to master. My primary approach involves direct communication with the director and volunteering at OCA events over the coming months. This firsthand experience allows me to observe the organization’s impact on its community. Specifically, I chose to volunteer with OCA’s Running Man Theater Program, as theater holds a special place in my heart, and I feel it’s where I can make the most meaningful impact. Through my involvement, I’ve witnessed the staff’s genuine care and belief in each student’s potential, and their commitment to empowering them for success. This project aims to showcase OCA’s remarkable contributions and highlight the transformative work they are doing in the community.
