Inclusive employment is built through community. When individuals, employment specialists, and local employers work together, opportunities become more accessible and more meaningful. At neba, we partner with businesses and community resources to help create workplaces where people feel valued, supported, and included. Because true inclusion isn’t just about getting a job - it’s about belonging.

Happy Presidents’ Day! 🇺🇸

In observance of the holiday, neba is closed today.
We will reopen on the next business day.

As we take this time to pause, we also reflect on the importance of leadership, opportunity, and community — values that guide our work every day as we support individuals on their path to meaningful employment.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating connection.

Every setback holds a lesson that is a part of the process.

We believe growth comes from persistence, support, and dedication. That’s why, through inclusive employment opportunities, growth happens.

When opportunity meets support, growth blossoms.

February 2 is Groundhog Day - a reminder of how easy it can be to fall into the same patterns. At neba, we choose growth, reflection, and moving forward together.

Two weeks after MLK Day, we’re still reflecting on our 41st annual MLK Day Retreat, where neba staff and board members came together for a day focused on leadership, communication, and team building - ed by Culture Redesigned.

At neba, leadership isn’t defined by a title. Everyone is a leader. It shows up in how we listen, how we support one another, and how we show up every day for the people and communities we serve.

We’re grateful for the time to pause, reflect, and strengthen our collective commitment to equity, opportunity, and meaningful work - for all.

01/30/2026

Every journey toward meaningful employment begins with a goal—believing in potential, naming possibilities, and taking the first step forward. At neba, we help individuals with developmental disabilities transform goals into real opportunities through inclusive employment and skill-building. 💙💼

When goals are supported, potential becomes progress.
