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.

Congratulations to Sokha
When Sokha’s mother contacted May Institute about her wish for her son to become a naturalized U.S. citizen, it raised questions about how Sokha would be able to do this. After all, his verbal capacity is extremely limited; he cannot speak or process complex language. The citizenship test requires passing a 20-question oral civics exam and a recitation of the Oath of Allegiance. Read more.
