Madeline is a student with special needs who loves animals and wants to live an independent life. So on Fairfax County's Disability Mentoring Day, she learned about a career with the Animal Shelter that can allow her to achieve all her goals. Disability Mentoring Day helps students explore career paths by working alongside Fairfax County Government employees.
