About Support Employment

The Eugenia Center’s Support Employment Program assists individuals in finding meaningful employment in their local communities. Participants are integrated into
community employment settings as part of the process of discovering their gifts and talents. Employment specialists seek to match each client with employment that best matches their interests and abilities.

We strive to support full participation in community life for every client we serve.
