“Employment services: atwork! Employment services are nationally recognized as best-practice because we empower people with disabilities others deem unemployable to find, secure, and retain good jobs that match their skills and interests. Because we believe that everyone can work, atwork! Consistently ranks in the top 10% of service providers in our state for achieving employment outcomes; and washington state consistently ranks in the top 3 in the country. Atwork! Met our target number of people served (369) during the unexpected and changing landscape that the covid pandemic brought to mission services. This is all people served across all three counties: king, snohomish and spokane. Across all 3 counties we saw a decline in referrals as our funding partners worked to navigate how services and customers could be supported safely. We were able to serve 51 new people. Atwork! Mission team's creativity and innovation in designing and delivering remote services ensured a successful year. We achieved 54 new job placements, supported people with disabilities to keep their jobs as essential workers and are proud to have sustained our services during an unprecedented year.”

“Social enterprises: atwork! Operates three small business lines that contribute financial support for our mission. In 2020, eleven people with disabilities were employed at the beginning of the year. Seven employees with disabilities maintained their jobs, while four were in paid furlough for the first half of the year and then laid off due to lack of work from the pandemic. Eighty (80) % of the direct labor in our businesses is performed by people with disabilities who maintain a 100% satisfied customer rating with all of our contracts and business customers. All atwork! Employees earn prevailing wages; as well as benefits including health insurance and paid time off and received increases during the year. The businesses contribute revenue that helps fund mission services so that we can serve people other programs turn away. We continue to serve people with disabilities who are temporarily living in nursing homes. Inclusion services that get people actively involved in typical community activities (like bingo at the senior center); and most importantly making relationships and friendships that are reciprocal, are vital to the mental and physical well-being of people with disabilities.”
