Since opening its doors in 1923, Hammer’s passion to provide quality services for adults and children with developmental disabilities has helped thousands experience life to its fullest. Founder Alvina Hammer believed that individuals with disabilities had the right to lead full lives in a loving atmosphere where they would feel secure and develop self-confidence. More than 85 years later, our mission remains true to Miss Hammer’s vision: we are a community of people who respect an individual’s abilities, whose collective spirit makes dreams come true and whose innovations continue to lead the way.
Respecting abilities... reaching for opportunities… realizing dreams. For Hammer clients, employees, volunteers and donors, these aren’t just slogans: they are everyday realities.
For employees who want to make a real difference in people’s lives, we offer a caring yet professional workplace.
Respecting Abilities. Reaching for Opportunities. Realizing Dreams.
