We opened Branches of Life in 2013 to address the transition gap between school services and research-based adult services for people who experience disabilities.

We envision people with and without disabilities coming together to make our community a better place, and that includes pursuing job possibilities for our clients. We firmly believe our clients can do more than custodial work, so we actively seek out businesses who have a real desire to hire and fulfill a role rather than checking a box in their diversity program.

Is it revolutionary? We’d like to think not. Are there benefits to hiring people with disabilities? Absolutely. If you agree and want to make a difference in your community, then our Employer Partner Program is for you.

Program details

The program is free to join and open to businesses of all sizes.
