Message From The Executive Director

At Willing Workers, our mission has always been to create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where every client can thrive. The results of our most recent parent and provider satisfaction survey reaffirm what we already know: our staff are the heart of our success. Families shared that they feel their loved ones are safe, respected, and cared for, and they consistently praised the friendliness, helpfulness, and compassion of our team. This is a true reflection of the caring community we have built together, and it speaks to the dedication of our staff who go above and beyond every day.

Our commitment to growth and empowerment is reflected in the initiatives we are leading. Through our Community Clean-Up projects, clients are learning the value of giving back and taking pride in their neighborhoods. Our Reading and Math Tutoring programs are helping individuals strengthen their academic skills and build confidence in learning. At the same time, we are investing in our staff through training in Sign Language and best practices for working with nonverbal individuals, ensuring that every client has the opportunity to be heard, understood, and included.

We are also excited about the competency-building projects that allow clients to explore their creativity, develop new skills, and gain confidence in their abilities. From art and computer classes to candle making, jewelry making, and T-shirt design, these programs open doors to self-expression and independence. Our drama and music classes further enrich this experience, giving clients the chance to showcase their talents and grow in ways that inspire both themselves and the community.

At Willing Workers, we believe in the limitless potential of every individual. With the support of our staff, families, and community partners, we are creating pathways for clients to succeed, contribute, and shine. I invite you to join us in this mission—whether through partnership, volunteering, donating, or simply spreading the word. Together, we can continue to empower our clients and help them achieve at their highest potential.

With gratitude,
Jitahadi Imara
