Missouri has one of the lowest unemployment rates while the unemployment rate for people with disabilities remains high. This leads to additional strain on families of adults with disabilities, lower quality of life, and greater isolation from the general population. Because of this, we aim to provide purposeful work for people with disabilities primarily focusing on individuals with developmental disabilities.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Organizational Employment
The Organizational Employment Program is designed to offer full support for people with varying levels of abilities. For some, being employed under our Organizational Employment Program offers a fun and safe environment with an opportunity to thrive. Our dedicated team of Employment Support Specialists works to accommodate each individual’s unique needs. Through regular training and assessment, we ensure the highest level of success for every person we serve. We focus on abilities rather than disabilities, and we transform a desire to work into something meaningful and fulfilling.
Organizational employees work directly for BCI at one of our BCI Packaging facilities, where we provide first-rate contract packaging and light manufacturing services to customers across the country.
Benefits include:
Full- or part-time employment
Paid vacation, holidays and sick time
Voluntary life, dental and vision insurance
Competitive Employment
People with intellectual and developmental disabilities can be very successful in competitive workplaces. The competitive employment Program at BCI helps individuals enter the local workforce by providing services and removing barriers that oftentimes hinder them from finding or keeping a job.
Competitive employment is for individuals who want to work alongside non-disabled individuals while earning the same opportunities, benefits, and pay. Competitive employment is a large and vital part of the continuum of services we provide.
Through this program, we empower people to successfully claim their place in the local workforce. With a constant focus on long-term goals, we embrace innovative methods. We work with our clients to create goals, ready skills, and seek opportunities. Once employment is secured, we remain available for follow-along support as needed.
BCI Skills Center
People with disabilities can accomplish amazing things—and careers are no exception. That is why BCI established a first-of-its-kind vocational training facility specifically for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities with the launching of the Skills Center in January 2019.
The BCI Skills Center is a first-of-its-kind vocational training facility for adults with disabilities. The Skills Center offers five programs—manufacturing, hospitality, warehouse, information technology, and health care support. We partner with forward-thinking businesses and employers to create exact curriculums. We also teach in replica work settings to provide hands-on learning. Once training is complete, students move straight into the workforce.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We know that every person has his or her own unique abilities and every person can contribute. We are proud to provide jobs and opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our focus is on abilities. Our employment continuum provides meaningful and fulfilling employment for men and women—where they are today, where they can be tomorrow, and all the unique journeys in between. Our goal for the continuum is to focus on full employment and provide ongoing support so people may gain access to the employment of their choice and ability. Through continual evaluation and skill development, people move into any number of employment opportunities.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We offer three programs along our employment continuum.
Organizational Employment Services (OES) offers a unique fully supported work environment and an opportunity to thrive by focusing on abilities, rather than disabilities. We transform a desire to work into something meaningful, and we offer the support that leads to success. Organizational employees work at either BCI-St. Peters or BCI-Lincoln County, and they are packaging and assembly experts! It’s rewarding when they see the goods they’ve packaged on the shelves of their neighborhood stores.
- Community Employment Services (CES): Our CES program offers more competitive, independent employment. Community employees work individually or as a team at local companies that contract with BCI. Working on-site at these businesses allows employees to showcase their capabilities, character and commitment to excellence in an integrated environment. This program offers more independence while still providing access to BCI’s individually tailored support network. Community Employment is the embodiment of our mission. There is nothing more fulfilling than hearing the words, “They’re hired!”
- BCI Skills Center: People with disabilities can accomplish amazing things—and careers are no exception. That is why BCI has established a first-of-its-kind vocational training facility specifically for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The Skills Center opened in January 2019 with two vocations and strategically increase careers and participants every six months. Our goal is to have at least 10 vocations and training to over 100 students by 2021. As we advance vocational training to a higher level, we seek the support of those like minded businesses to provide the greatest opportunities for people of all abilities.
All of our programs are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Onsite Employment Support Specialists provide full support and help individuals in the OES program achieve their employment goals in an integrated work setting. The programming staff works with individuals on soft skills training, learning employment skills, and training on skills needed for the packaging and small assembly field.
Community Employment Services serve individuals in three separate but overlapping programs 1) The Community Employment staff work with individuals with Vocational Rehabilitation contracts from discovering their potential, to job development and on to job retention. 2) The individuals served through Supported Employment Follow Along (SEFA) are supported by the Community Employment staff on job retention and career development. 3) BCI Community Employees are individuals on BCI payroll that are working at employer locations in the community with the support of the Community Employment staff.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We are a highly regarded social enterprise with a reputation for being the “go-to” resource for helping individuals with disabilities find meaningful employment in the tri-county St. Louis region and beyond. We connect individuals with disabilities to a continuum of employment opportunities that align with their skills, abilities and desire. We are a lifetime resource to assure their continued success. Our Career Planning Center (CPC) has expanded to include a Skills Center for training and preparing candidates for employment in a variety of vocations.
We will continue to grow the CPC and enhance our community employment model with the addition of the Skills Center to provide vocational training for adults with disabilities. We will develop a roadmap to create employment opportunities for students coming out of the high school system. In addition to the Skills Center and CPC, we will work aggressively to find a solution for high school students to work in our facility based operations, if this alternative is the best fit for them.

BOONE CENTER INC
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
