About Job Squad
Formed in 1984, Job Squad is a private nonprofit organization and community rehabilitation program. Job Squad is all about jobs.
Our mission is to provide employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. We aspire to:
- Provide the psychological and economical benefits of employment
- Exceed our customers' expectations.
- Promote community awareness about the capabilities of individuals with disabilities
The dignity, responsibility, and economic independence resulting from gainful employment is one of the most effective ways of enhancing self-reliance, changing attitudes, reducing dependency on public benefits, and promoting community acceptance of people with disabilities.
Employment opportunities are provided through:
- Employment with businesses in the community
- Self-employment
- State, federal, and commercial contracts for custodial services, presort mail services, and grounds maintenance services.
Job Squad performs outreach activities to recruit individuals with disabilities who want to work. Through on-the-job training and supportive and therapeutic intervention, we strive to ensure successful work experiences, whether at a business in the community, on a service contract, or with their own small business.
