BOISE, Idaho -- Twice a week, Robin Boudwin gets on the ACCESS bus, a paratransit transportation service, from her home in Boise. She arrives at Sweet Zola’s Candy Shop at 7172 Fairview Ave., where she packages candy boxes, trains her colleagues or operates the register.
For the past two years, Boudwin has been working at Sweet Zola’s, a nonprofit that aims to help its employees with disabilities learn vital workplace skills in a safe environment. Boudwin has had quadriplegia and said the job has given her more responsibilities than her previous job at a movie theater in Las Vegas.
“It’s given me a sense of worth,” Boudwin told the Idaho Statesman at the store.
