EmployAbility is marking its 75th anniversary with a significant expansion of its services into Bryan and Effingham counties. This move brings direct access to workforce development, skill-building, and enrichment programs for residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The organization works with individuals aged 14 and older to gain the independence and confidence required for the workplace. By establishing a local presence, the nonprofit aims to keep these essential resources closer to the families who depend on them throughout Coastal Georgia.
To introduce the expansion, the team recently hosted community ice cream socials in Richmond Hill and Springfield. These events connected local leaders and families with the staff and programs now available in their neighborhoods.
EmployAbility maintains a long track record of providing supported employment and community access services. The leadership team noted that the warm reception in these new areas highlights the demand for such resources. Families and community organizations can visit the nonprofit’s website to find specific details on how to register for these programs.
