Leading the Way to Employment

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics regularly reports that the percentage of working-age people with disabilities in the labor force is about one-third that of persons with no disability. Magnolia Community Services believes that every adult who wants to work deserves the opportunity to earn a paycheck. Too often, adults with developmental disabilities face barriers to employment due to lack of experience and specialized training.

Magnolia Works is a continuum of employment services to help participants find, secure and maintain employment in the community.
