ROSIES brings on-the-job-learning to those with diverse abilities

Co-founded by Jeffrey Sobrato and Lee Chemotsky, the Foundation has a straightforward mission: to create employment and learning opportunities for individuals living with disabilities. Sobrato and Chemotsky's philanthropic vision has resulted in meaningful work and involvement for people with diverse abilities. Together, they have reimagined the traditional "short bus," currently being transformed into an accessible podcast and content design lab in the heart of the Culver City Arts District. The repurposed "short bus" will also feature an interactive ice cream truck element, offering a diverse selection of frozen treats from partners such as The Bigg Chill, Bibi’s Warmstone Bakery, Enjoyer, and an expanding menu of others.

ROSIES is actively expanding its presence within the Culver City Arts District and beyond, fostering additional apprenticeships and collaborations with colleagues across various industries. Building and sustaining enduring relationships are key outcomes of the ROSIES crew experience. The program places a focus on cultivating on-the-job skills related to decision-making and effective communication within a growing network of creatives and problem solvers.

We eagerly anticipate the collaborative initiatives ahead. Join us in extending a warm welcome to ROSIES as they become part of the Ting family!
