Mission Opening doors to lifelong learning and career success.
To achieve its mission, Open Door Group assists people to prepare, obtain, and sustain meaningful careers and to support people in the pursuit of lifelong learning.
Description Our story starts in 1976, when a small group of dedicated volunteers in Vancouver began offering woodworking and sewing workshops to individuals living with disabilities. At the time, all they had was passion and the belief that everyone wants to — and can — participate in their community through meaningful work.
Today, we continue to operate on the fundamental belief that all individuals have the ability to succeed, and our commitment is stronger than ever.
Open Door Group is a CARF-accredited, not-for-profit organization and registered charity providing employment services to thousands of individuals a year, in five locations – including Vancouver, Sechelt, Squamish, Kamloops and Chase. We work with all individuals who are interested in preparing for, finding, and keeping meaningful employment.
In addition to employment services, we provide unique support programs for individuals living with mental illness in Vancouver and Kamloops.
At our core, Open Door Group remains an organization about people and relationships.
Within the communities we serve, you will find us connecting with clients, families, the business community, other service providers, and all levels of government. We are proud to have strong, collaborative partnerships with more than 20 service organizations and hundreds of businesses in order to connect job seekers with meaningful work and help hiring employers tap into untapped talent pools.
