who is ekisa?

A movement of people who believe disability is not inability

we value:

  • Employing staff for the long-term so they can form loving and lasting relationships with the children and families we serve.

  • Employing staff who live with disabilities or have children living with disabilities.

  • Providing an environment and job that people love to come to. 

“I love working at Ekisa because the environment is friendly, and I love being a part of a team where I can help children who desperately need it.”

-Issac
