Summary
Oct. 24 marked My Path’s first Community Connection event in Rochester, connecting people with special needs to employment and career resources.
Founder Nate Evens said the nonprofit aims to help anyone who wants to work identify a job goal and get support to reach and keep it.
My Path was created in 2020 after Evens, a former special education teacher, saw high-performing students with disabilities struggle to find steady work after school.
After years of holding events around the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, the Rochester stop expands the group’s outreach into Evens’ hometown, where he said community support was expected.
