Job Path supports adults with developmental disabilities as they make choices about their lives and play valued roles in their communities.

Job Path encourages people to explore what they want out of life and to chart their own journeys.

Whether it’s finding a job, making a contribution in a volunteer role, establishing a home, or being part of the community, the goal is to assist the person to lead a full and active life.
