Boone Center, Inc. (BCI) is a nonprofit organization based in Saint Peters, Missouri, operating in the individual and family services sector to provide employment opportunities for adults with disabilities. It offers two main pathways: an Organizational Employment Program that furnishes paid work within its own packaging operations, and a Competitive Employment and Skills Center that delivers vocational training and helps participants secure jobs alongside non-disabled peers, with equal pay and benefits where applicable. A team of Employment Support Specialists delivers individualized support, supported by ongoing training and assessment, with a focus on abilities and meaningful work rather than disability labels. The organization partners with businesses to source work for its organizational program and to hire program participants through its competitive program, with follow-up support after placement. In addition to its in-house facilities, Boone Center engages with partners to source jobs and to provide training experiences that align with participants' skills and interests. A recent development is a 2026 partnership with the Fort Zumwalt School District designed to create a direct pathway to a registered apprenticeship, illustrating the organization's ongoing efforts to expand practical employment outcomes for those it serves.
