Emerging Leaders Program

Community Options has joined the Emerging Leaders Program! Emerging Leaders is a highly competitive program that places college students with disabilities in fulfilling summer internships and provides them with leadership development opportunities. Emerging Leaders partners with businesses to help them find outstanding young talent while also considering diversity and inclusion in their hiring practices.

Student applicants are matched with businesses through a careful screening process that helps ensure that the internship placement is a good fit for both parties.

Booz Allen Hamilton founded Emerging Leaders in 2001. The program currently is managed by the National Business & Disability Council.

"Emerging Leaders is one of the most proactive and effective initiatives to integrate people with disabilities into competitive levels of the workplace as fully participating, productive employees," says Edmund L. Cortez, President and CEO, National Business & Disability Council.

Community Options is dedicated and committed to developing its internship program, nationally. By becoming an Emerging Leader Partner, we are taking a huge step in developing and demonstrating our commitment to this program. Check it out at www.emerging-leaders.com
