In addition to ABILITY Job Fair and abilityE, nonprofit ABILITY Corps offers volunteer opportunities in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, building homes for individuals with disabilities and low income. This initiative is a historic first as the volunteers are also individuals with disabilities. This opportunity showcases how people with disabilities are often overlooked as valuable resources for employment and volunteer activities.
