Governor Josh Shapiro joined Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry (L&I) Secretary Nancy A. Walker, the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR), local lawmakers, and community members at Overlook Park in Lancaster County to meet with students and supervisors participating in OVR's MY Work program.The visit highlighted the Shapiro Administration's commitment to expanding opportunity for all Pennsylvanians and the life-changing impact of the MY Work summer employment program for high school students with disabilities. Since Governor Shapiro took office, the MY Work program has expanded significantly, supporting 2,400 young Pennsylvanians across the Commonwealth."One of the greatest privileges the First Lady and I have had is meeting those with disabilities who are out working, powering our economy, and putting smiles on people's faces - whether it's when we grab a coffee at Nour in Camp Hill or visit a beautiful park like the one here in Manheim Township," said Governor Shapiro. "People often underestimate what people with disabilities are capable of, but we're different here in Pennsylvania because we know that people with disabilities bring unique strengths to the work they do. Thanks to Lori's leadership, we're expanding OVR and initiatives like MY Work are connecting more young people than ever before with real-world experience and giving the confidence that comes from contributing to their communities."Speaker List:Governor Josh ShapiroRepresentative Nikki RiveraSenator James Malone
