Congratulations to the CVACE GED & High School Diploma Class of 2026! 🎓✨

Every graduate has a different story, a different journey, and a different reason for returning to school. No matter where you started, what obstacles you faced, or how long it took to get here, you chose to keep going and that’s something worth celebrating.

We’re incredibly proud of each and every one of you for finishing strong and reaching this important milestone. Your hard work, perseverance, and dedication have brought you to this moment, and we can’t wait to see where your next chapter takes you.

We hope you’ll stay connected with us and come back to share your future career, educational, and life adventures.

Stay tuned for more graduation highlights! 🎉

Behind every successful internship is a community willing to open its doors and invest in someone’s future.

Through CVACE’s STRIDES Paid Internship Program, adults with disabilities have the opportunity to gain real-world work experience, develop professional skills, build confidence, and explore meaningful career pathways in supportive workplace environments.

We’re grateful for the local businesses and community partners who help make these opportunities possible. Together, we’re creating spaces where students can learn, contribute, grow, and prepare for future employment.

Thank you to our community partners for helping turn hands-on experience into lasting opportunity. 🤝 and a big congrats to Carl for graduating your Paid Internship Program!

A special congratulations to our PIPS graduates! 🎉👏

These photos capture just a few moments from a meaningful milestone as our interns celebrated the completion of their Paid Internship Program experience.

Over the course of their internships, students gained valuable workplace skills, built confidence, explored new environments, and continued growing both personally and professionally. Many challenged themselves to step outside their comfort zones, learn new responsibilities, and contribute to workplaces throughout our community.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our incredible Castro Valley business partners who welcomed our interns, shared their knowledge, and helped create meaningful learning experiences. Your mentorship and support play an important role in helping students prepare for future opportunities.

We would also like to recognize the families, friends, job coaches, and supporters who encouraged our interns throughout their journey.

Congratulations to all of our graduates—we are proud of everything you have accomplished and look forward to seeing what comes next. 🎓✨
