Build a work routine with support
Talk with Lantern about local job opportunities, your work experience and your schedule. Employment support can be part of planning for greater independence while living at St. Johns House or Randolph Community.
Employers make hiring decisions. Openings, requirements and start dates vary; a job is not guaranteed.
Ride tickets come from Get Out and Live
After you are employed at an approved workplace, purchase ride tickets directly from Get Out and Live, the transportation nonprofit. Tickets cost $5 each way, or $10 round trip. Confirm that the workplace is approved and that your shift, pickup and return arrangements can be accommodated before buying tickets or relying on a ride.
Get Out and Live is the transportation nonprofit. Lantern’s housing fees and the transportation tickets are separate.
From a job opportunity to a commute
- Discuss your work plans. Tell Lantern about your experience, opportunities or existing job.

- Purchase your ride tickets. Once employed at an approved workplace, buy tickets directly from Get Out and Live.
- Confirm both parts of the journey. Check pickup, return arrangements and what to do if your shift changes.
