Miranda’s Story
Miranda’s dream was clear: she wanted to move to Hawaii and live with her family when she turned 18. It was a goal that inspired years of dedication and growth. Over the years, with the support of her amazing PCL team members, she gained essential life skills—learning to cook, creating daily schedules, establishing healthy routines, and developing strategies for managing her emotions and communicating effectively. These were not just tasks but building blocks for her independence and confidence.
In addition to her personal goals and progress, Miranda faced a significant challenge: transitioning from Oregon’s support system to Hawaii’s. The process demanded navigating complex requirements and meticulous attention to detail, but Miranda and her team remained steadfast, ensuring every step was handled with care and precision. As her 18th birthday approached, the dream started to feel within reach. During a holiday visit to Hawaii, she received the news that changed everything: the State of Hawaii approved her transfer! Miranda now lives with her family, and her journey continues. Miranda’s story is a testament to the power of teamwork, perseverance, and the belief that with the right support, dreams can become reality.

Justin’s Story
Over the past two years, Justin has become an invaluable member of the MOD Pizza team, earning respect and admiration for his positive attitude, determination, and dedication. Justin worked closely with his Job Coach from PCL to find his job and learn the duties of his position. He began his role at MOD by folding pizza boxes, but it didn’t take long for his team to see his potential. He had the opportunity to try additional roles at MOD – working the cash register, cleaning the dining area, etc. He found his favorite part was interacting with the customers. Today, Justin confidently performs his job duties and at every shift he brings a smile that lights up the workplace, motivating his team, and creating a welcoming environment for customers.
MOD Pizza’s commitment to inclusion has been instrumental in Justin’s success. As a company that embraces the Employment First philosophy, MOD has provided the accommodations and support needed for Justin to thrive. Their belief in Justin’s abilities and dedication to fostering an inclusive workplace have made them a true partner in his journey. Justin’s success reflects the power of collaboration, inclusivity, and the belief that everyone deserves to have meaningful employment.
