At Easterseals, we break down barriers to employment for people with disabilities, people facing disadvantages, and veterans. We walk beside the individuals we serve as they discover their path to living more independent lives through social enterprise, youth, vocational and social & recreational services.
Employment & Training
Our community is stronger when it wholly includes and builds upon the abilities of all its members. Job skill development is the goal of Easterseals vocational services. We provide people with disabilities and disadvantages the skills and supports they need to get and keep jobs.
Social Enterprise
The best way to ensure a person is ready for community employment is to first employ them ourselves. These agency-run businesses expand training and employment opportunities, while contributing to the self-sufficiency of the agency. They include: Building Value and Packaging and Fulfillment Centers.
Military & Veterans Services
Easterseals provides service to military and veterans with disabilities, seen and unseen. Services include education support, and a veteran's employment program. Our services are available free of charge to all who have worn our nation's uniform, regardless of discharge status.
Adult Services
Our vision is a community where everyone experiences the pride of achievement and the security of belonging. Whether a person needs assistance in reaching an employment goal or would like a place to go to maintain the routine and friendships they've come to rely upon, our programs for adults with disabilities are designed with their desires in mind.
Youth Services
Helping youth transition successfully from school to post-secondary school or employment is the goal of Youth Services. At Easterseals, youth with disabilities and youth at risk of not graduating receive added supports to prepare for the next stage of life.
