May Institute Awarded $250,000 Grant from Kessler Foundation
A $250,000 Signature Employment Grant from the Kessler Foundation will help fund the Meaningful Jobs Initiative, a collaborative venture between May Institute, its National Autism Center (NAC), and WORK Inc., the largest employer of people with disabilities in New England.
This innovative employment program will identify, train, and support adults with ASD for potential employment in the security industry in New England. The Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services (DDS) and the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission (MRC) will also serve as partners in this unique partnership between May Institute and WORK Inc.
