Meaningful Work Foundation

The Meaningful Work Foundation helps people with intellectual disabilities and developmental delays secure and maintain competitive employment in the greater Toronto area. The organization works directly with job seekers to identify their strengths and interests, then connects them with employers seeking reliable workers. Staff provide on-the-job coaching and ongoing support to help participants succeed in real workplace settings. By focusing on employment rather than sheltered workshops, the foundation helps individuals build independence, earn fair wages, and contribute to their communities. The organization also works with employers in Oakville and surrounding regions to create inclusive hiring practices and workplace cultures that value neurodiversity and different abilities.
