Employment Services – At Community Involvement Programs our employment services are all community-based because we believe that is the best way for people to become a part of their communities. Our flexible, individualized approaches allow us to support people in various areas of the Twin Cities, with a focus on Hennepin and Ramsey Counties.
Employment First – We take pride in our commitment to an Employment First philosophy: We believe that employment should be the first and preferred option for working-aged adults who have disabilities, just as it is for other adults in our society. We work hard to reinforce the expectation that people with disabilities can and should be contributing members of their communities, and employment is one of the best ways to accomplish this mission.

Innovative, Customized Supports – We provide innovative, customized, employment-focused supports to assist adults with a wide range of disabilities to find and maintain regular employment, at regular businesses, and at fair wages. Community Involvement Programs has expertise in providing flexible, individualized employment supports – from start to finish – to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental illness, brain injury, physical disabilities, and vision or hearing impairments.
