Our mission is to inspire, develop, and support people with disabilities through employment, transforming a desire to work into something meaningful and fulfilling for each person we serve. Our Organizational Employment Program is the first step in our Employment Continuum. Here, individuals have paid jobs in a fully supported environment with continuous opportunities to learn and grow.
Our dedicated team of Employment Support Specialists plays a key role in this program. They work closely with each individual to accommodate their unique needs, providing regular training and assessments to ensure the highest level of success. The focus is always on abilities rather than disabilities, nurturing each person’s potential and helping them thrive.
