We are new to Steemit.com and would like to thank r2cornell@r2cornell for suggesting we take a serious look at this social media site. For disclosure purposes r2cornell@r2cornell does work part time for us in the Youth In Transition Program.

We are not calling this an "introduceyourselfpost", because we want to get a picture taken of some of our staff in front of our office sign with the Steemit logo.

We are a small organization and as with many smaller non-profit organizations resources are limited. We did receive some some timely Steem as donations to get us started here on Steemit.

We hope to post a more thorough description of our organization and services we provide. We also hope this provides us the venue to provide information on independent living and disability issues. Our staff bring a lot of experience in the field of rehabilitation to the table.

It has been difficult to find much information on non-profit organizations on Steemit. We found a post by patrice@patrice that was encouraging. She has indicated she may do a follow-up post to one she did months ago. We also found the following post that was encouraging: https://steemit.com/giving/@bethalea/taking-the-reins, and I know there were a few other posts as well. Hope to hear from others here on Steemit that might provide us with suggestions.
