The Power of Work: Real Money, in a Real Job, in the Real World
Valley Educational Associates, Inc.

training and employment services to adults with disabilities. Through the
years, the agency has expanded from a small, eight-person workshop to its
current operation serving approximately 80 individuals in four separate
locations (shops) and various community-based jobs throughout Western
Massachusetts. The guiding principle that defines the goals of this agency
is the belief that all people, regardless of the challenges they face, can
effectively perform "real work for real pay" and become valuable members of
the workforce.
