For more than 45 years, we have been leaders in this industry, placing at least one individual into a new job every single day. We are committed to supporting our participants’ success and continuing to help individuals build confidence, independence, and meaningful roles in their communities. Your contribution helps us continue empower the individuals we serve today while creating new opportunities for those we will support in the future. Every donation, big or small, makes a meaningful impact.  Employment gives so much more than just a paycheck, it gives people a purpose!
