LINKAGES, a non-profit organization, grew from a unique idea proposed by Tucson business leader Jim Click. His vision was to gather the often-overlooked resources of the city's disabled workers into a central location, then make their wealth of skills and initiative readily available to the business community.
He shared his dream with Dr. Ruth Mondschein, a pioneer in employment, training and arts for people with disabilities, and together they began the process of unifying the efforts of Tucson's employers and rehabilitation agencies into the extraordinary resource that LINKAGES is today.
Knowing that employment makes life meaningful, LINKAGES seeks to ensure that all people are given the opportunity to perform and be valued. We work as a liaison between area businesses with employment openings and participating rehabilitation providers with qualified people ready to work. Since 1996, LINKAGES has developed partnership with approximately 45 rehabilitation agencies and over 160 employers.
