We believe people with disabilities should live, work, and play in integrated community settings.

Through our MentorWorks integrated employment service, we have supported more than 20,000 people with disabilities in achieving community-based employment across the United States and Australia. IRI has also received numerous local, state, and national grants to expand opportunities for people with disabilities to participate, contribute, and belong in their communities.

We believe people with disabilities should have the freedom to choose where they live, work, and participate in their communities.

We advocate for equitable pay, meaningful employment, and workplaces where people with disabilities are valued and compensated fairly for their contributions. IRI is proud to have helped advance efforts to end subminimum wage and expand access to competitive integrated employment.

Person-Centered Careers

Every person’s path to employment should reflect their individual strengths, interests, choices, and goals.

More Than a Job

Employment should offer purpose, belonging, and the opportunity to build a meaningful future.

Everybody Works

We reject assumptions about who can and cannot work. Every person deserves the opportunity to contribute, belong, and succeed.
