Project Spark is a program that helps people with intellectual and developmental disabilities move from jobs that pay less than minimum wage into a community job, where they work alongside and earn the same as their non-disabled peers. Project Spark gives people with I/DD the services and supports they need so they can work at the kinds of jobs they want.Project Spark was created by the Division of Employment and Independence for People with Disabilities to help people with I/DD explore, prepare for, get and keep a job in their community. Project Spark is paid for by a $13.8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
