What we do
Work that’s simple. Work that’s safe.
Work that doesn’t feel like work.
That’s the secret to creating a
successful environment for
autistic adults.
-
Assembling parts.
Building skills.As a safe, comfortable and nurturing work environment that’s part of a true manufacturing company, employees at we make work with their hands in mini-teams to assemble and package small parts that will be used in vinyl fencing and railing products sold at leading home improvement stores.
-
Real products.
Genuine pride.With its puzzle-solving aspects and focus on a repeatable task, the work we make employees do plays to the strengths of most autistic individuals. But unlike the traditional experience of arts & crafts projects or “busy work,” we’re striving to instill the sense of fulfillment that comes from producing something of real value: the making of goods that every employee — and an entire community — can feel genuinely good about.
-
Nurturing potential.
Fostering independence.At we make, job growth is directly related to personal growth. With our commitment to helping each individual achieve their greatest potential, we’re focused on providing a foundation for improved self-confidence, a greater vocational future and increased independence.
-
Safe spaces.
Enriching experiences.The we make Enrichment Program provides a safe environment for participants to engage in healthy living activities, empower positive habits, explore new areas of interests and create a gateway to expand social networks. Our program activities include Art Therapy, Cookless Culinary Series, Yoga: Mind & Body Series and Intro to Horticulture in the we make Garden.
