Recreation & Leisure
Fitness, sports, arts and crafts, community outings, libraries, parks, museums, and social events that promote social interaction, independence, and personal growth.
Community Integration and Employment is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering adults with developmental disabilities through inclusive programs, hands-on job training, and meaningful employment—so every person can live, work, and thrive with dignity and confidence.
Four person-centered pathways to independence
Fitness, sports, arts and crafts, community outings, libraries, parks, museums, and social events that promote social interaction, independence, and personal growth.
Individualized, community-based support for independent living skills, communication, self-advocacy, and community integration through structured activities in real-world settings.
Hands-on work experience in real employment settings with dedicated job coaching in communication, teamwork, time management, and workplace skills—with competitive wages.
Job development, resume assistance, interview prep, and ongoing coaching to help participants obtain and maintain meaningful employment in integrated community settings.
Our programs operate in real community settings—local businesses, parks, community centers, and transit systems—because independence is learned where life actually happens.
We collaborate with a wide range of organizations to connect participants with the services, environments, and opportunities that help them grow. Each partner plays a critical role in making inclusive community life possible.
Funding, coordinating, and advocating for participants and their families.
Hosting interns, creating jobs, and building more inclusive workplaces.
Supporting young adults as they transition from school to independent community life.
Sharing resources and collaborating to strengthen services across the region.
