Additional Culture Details
In 2023 we will celebrate 100 years as an organization. Some of us can say the entire disability rights movement has happened in our lifetime as individuals moved from institutions to the community and we are very proud to work for a provider that led the way. There are many employees who have spent their entire careers here supporting individuals who came to Hammer as children 40 years ago.
Our employees choose to work at Hammer because they are naturally empathetic, altruistic, kind and generous people who work for modest wages to help the most vulnerable people among us. We represent many ages, abilities, cultures and ethnicities and believe our diversity is our strength.
