Employment support center for persons with disabilities

Your gift will help break down barriers to employment for individuals with disabilities.

Ohioans with physical and intellectual disabilities are the most likely to lose employment, experience acute isolation, and suffer health complications if they contract COVID-19. A brighter future is possible. Together, we can help Ohioans with disabilities through job training,  job placement and supportive services that lead to  economic self-sufficiency.
With your support, all VGS services and programs can continue to be provided at no cost to Ohioans with disabilities.
