Project 10 STING RAY is a community-based collaboration between Pinellas County School District, Florida Department of Education, Governor's Commission on Disabilities, University of South Florida – St. Petersburg, and Project 10. It offers young adults with significant cognitive disabilities, ages 18-22, an opportunity to experience life on a college campus while developing independent living and employability skills. The program focuses on independent living in the community; preparation for employment; community-based work experience; on-the-job training; placement in competitive, integrated employment; preparation for continuing higher education; development of self-determination skills; and establishment and maintenance of positive social and work relationships.
