Freshman students working on transition activities are introduced to a variety of areas related to transition services, e.g., work experience, developing a resume, receiving feedback about work habits, increasing their awareness of the importance of physical appearance on the job, and other issues. In-school work experiences are provided for students so that by the junior year, job skills have been developed that will allow students to be successfully employed in the community.

A transition plan is written for the IEP that will be in effect when a student turns sixteen. It is an integral part of the IEP and includes supports in the areas of Personal Life, Employment, Graduation/Post-Secondary Education/Training and Daily and Community Independent Living. The IEP may include specific goals in one or more of these areas, as well as activities that the student and family will complete in order to make progress toward the student's post-secondary plans. Each transition plan is individualized to meet the needs of individual students and is updated annually.

• Personal Life Activities: This includes hobbies, interests, activities or sports that the student will participate in, as well as skills in developing relationships, decision-making and problem solving.
• Employment/Career Activities: Work experience, volunteering, part-time and summer work opportunities, as well as skill acquisition and career exploration.
• Graduation/Post-Secondary Education/Training Activities: Students discuss their high school graduation plans, which include post-secondary training opportunities.
• Daily and Community Independent Living Activities: Learning to use public transportation, money management, cooking, cleaning, and other independent living skills.

CODA is a behavioral healthcare agency. Our mission is to significantly reduce alcohol and drug problems and related social, health and behavioral consequences. When people come to us with alcohol or drug-related problems, they are often at a crisis point. They may be physically and emotionally ill; their relationships, financial situation and work lives can be dysfunctional. They may be in trouble with the law, without homes, or lacking other things basic to making their way in the world. At CODA we work with women, men and families as they take on all of these challenges. We provide the support and treatment needed for them to reduce and eliminate their alcohol and drug use; reconcile with family and friends; find employment, and take a place in the larger community.

CODA has been building stronger families, safer neighborhoods, and healthier communities since 1969 through comprehensive behavioral-treatment options for people in need of substance-abuse or mental health services. In 2005, CODA expanded its mission to include treatment services for those struggling with severe and persistent mental illness.

JOIN exists to support the efforts of homeless individuals and families to transition out of homelessness into permanent housing. Our efforts are directed at individuals sleeping outside or in their car in the Portland Metro area. Our service provision is not dependent on age, gender, ethnicity, sexual identity, specific diagnosis, or identifiable issue.

Values & Principles

• JOIN always has been and always will be organic—living and evolving—because no one has all the answers.
• Organizational simplicity—because responding to the complex issue of homelessness requires flexibility and creativity.
• JOIN's philosophy is one of inclusion—restoring connections and rebuilding community—because the experience of being without a home is of one of alienation, degradation, and dehumanization.
• Homeless people themselves must be the primary agents of change—because paternalistic approaches are devoid of respect and devalue the strengths of the homeless people upon which long-term stability depends.
• Relationships rather than rules—because in the end, it's aboout the people.
