About FWO
A Non Profit 501(C) 3 Corporation!!!
MISSION: " FREEDOM to WORK with OPPORTUNITIES to excel"
Freedom Work
Opportunities, Inc. (FWO for short) is a not for profit
corporation that was founded in 1983 to provide skill training
to individuals with disabilities. It is the purpose of this
organization to provide realistic training to individuals in a
manner that promotes personal growth, dignity, and respect.
To achieve these goals F.W.O. supports the Person Center / Directed Planning approach to all aspects of our operational functions. All individuals are the center of the decision making process. They are given the right to choose what jobs they work on, where they work, the types of programs that are implemented, and the right to change their job or program if so desired.
By allowing individuals the right to voice their opinions and the right to choose it is our intent to promote their ability to control their own destiny. By encouraging their ability to control their lives we believe that individuals will continue to want to increase their skills and choose a path in life that will fit their own personal needs.
F.W.O. acknowledges that all individuals will not want to choose a path that includes increasing their vocational skills of their employability. For these individuals we encourage them to explore the non vocational options. These include the Alternative Activities and the Senior Activities Programs.
F.W.O. believes that by offering services that are fit to an individuals wants and needs, by relying on the individuals input for direction, by placing importance on the satisfaction of our customers, by allowing individuals to move around with-in the organizational structure without undue hindrance, and by offering a wide variety of options F.W.O. will remain a Quality Consumer Driven Service Provider in the future.
