My name is Carmine Vara. I am 25 years old and I live in the Atlanta, Georgia area. I have a job at Stone Mountain Park as a Senior Information Specialist. I really enjoy my job and have been working at the park for almost 6 years now! Some of my other interests include trains, oldies music, CB radios, working on the computer, and hanging out with friends and family. I love to travel and I keep very busy!
Since I've finished school, it has been harder for me to find things to do. I have cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair, and I need help sometimes to do things even though there's a lot I can do for myself. Because it is has been hard to find programs and funding that is right for me, I have been working on starting a Microboard. This Microboard will let me use the funding that is out there for people with disabiltities in the way that I need to without having to go through another provider. Essentially, the microboard will be my provider. This idea was started in Canada where the first Microboard was started. Please click on my page about my microboard to find out more.
