Beneficial Beans®
SARRC's Beneficial Beans program is a dynamic internship program for adults with autism offering unique, hands-on experience in retail and marketing, business administration, and agriculture production. Participation in a Beneficial Beans internship allows individuals transferable skills they can readily use to sustain their future financial independence. The curriculum as well as the course schedule has been designed to mirror the workplace and includes both technical and practical workplace skills. More than just a gardening program, Beneficial Beans creates possibilities, opportunities, and self-confidence for adults with autism that are working towards meaningful community-based employment.
