Employment Link - Who We Are and What We Do
Mission Statement:
"To actively support the inclusion of individuals with disabilities within our community."
Employment Link began providing services to people with disabilities in 1960. Throughout those forty plus years we have collaborated with our customers and their families to provide high quality, responsive services. We believe in each person's right to self-determination and understand that people require individualized support to identify and reach their unique goals. Our services emphasize community integration, and the facilitation of natural supports and friendships within the workplace and community at large.
Employment Link's corporate offices are located at 6290 Lookout Road in Boulder. We also have an office in Denver. Employment Link has been approved by the State to provide employment services for people with developmental disabilities in Boulder, Denver, Jefferson, Clear Creek, Summit, Arapahoe, Douglas and Weld Counties. The State has identified our programs as consistently meeting their stringent standards and providing services consistent with their mission. The organization was proud to receive the Colorado Developmental Disabilities Council's Dan B. Davidson Excellence in Inclusion award for Inclusion in Employment in 2003.
Employment Link's commitment to quality begins with our staff. After extensive screening, Employment Link employees are provided with state of the art training by national leaders in employment development and support, natural support, systematic instruction, and values clarification. More than twenty-five percent of our staffers have ten or more years of disability service experience and knowledge to share with our newer staff members.
We are dedicated to providing responsive, high-quality, flexible services to meet the needs of our new and existing customers. Along with our traditional state funding, we have also been awarded grants by The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County, The Denver Foundation, the Burt Foundation, the Anschutz Family Foundation, the Kenneth King Foundation, Amgen and Xcel Energy. Our non-profit status allows us to access these additional charitable resources. In addition, non-profit status assures funding is used for the sole purpose of providing services to our customers and strengthening the agency. Whether you are an old friend, or a new customer shopping for a service provider, we welcome you to check out our commitment to customer service and enjoy the benefits of our long-standing history and experience in providing services to people with disabilities.
