Madera Cemetery District's Success Story

Madera Cemetery District partnered with Madera County Workforce to provide meaningful work-based learning opportunities for local youth.

What began as a request to support a young individual interested in landscaping grew into a successful collaboration benefiting both the organization and participants.

As the District worked to digitize cemetery maps and update its database, Madera County Workforce connected them with participants who supported both grounds work and technical projects. Three individuals were placed, each contributing in different ways.

Adrianna supported technology efforts, quickly learning new skills and earning a direct hire. She continued digital mapping and training others before pursuing her college goals.

Additional participants, including Ramiro, supported daily operations and strengthened overall team capacity.

This collaboration advanced key projects and created opportunities for local youth.
