At Open Sky, we believe everyone deserves the chance to build a career they feel proud of. Meaningful work builds confidence, independence, and a stronger connection to the community. We support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in discovering their strengths, exploring job interests, and finding opportunities that match their goals.
How We Help
Our employment facilitators work one‑on‑one with each person to understand what they enjoy, what they want to learn, and what type of work feels right. We provide support at every step, from exploring options to thriving in a job.
