BCI to Host Spring Open House Showcasing Employment Opportunities April 23
Employees at Boone Center are gearing up to show off their work at the St. Peters facility on April 23.
Boone Center, Inc. (BCI)—a nonprofit dedicated to enhancing the lives of adults with disabilities through employment opportunities—will host its Spring Open House on Wednesday, April 23, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at its St. Peters facility (200 Trade Center Drive, St. Peters, MO).
This year’s event will feature an all-new tour experience, with multiple stations offering unique insights into BCI’s diverse programs and services. Guests will see how BCI empowers individuals with disabilities through meaningful employment and training opportunities.
“Our Open House is a chance to see the life-changing impact of our programs up close,” said BCI CEO Troy Compardo. “From our packaging operations to competitive employment services and vocational training, every stop on the tour will tell a powerful story of empowerment and inclusion through work.”
Attendees will tour BCI’s Organizational Employment Program, which operates as BCI Packaging. This program employs 190 adults with disabilities and provides contract packaging and light manufacturing services to manufacturers worldwide. Attendees will also meet the Competitive Employment team, explore job placement services, and learn about the BCI Skills Center, which offers vocational training in partnership with local businesses.
“If you or someone you know lives with a disability, meeting our team can be the first step toward finding meaningful work,” said BCI Director of Competitive Employment Kenda Curativo. “Whether you’re a student preparing for high school graduation or someone seeking a new career opportunity, we and our network of hiring and training partners are ready to help.”
With contract packaging facilities in St. Charles and Lincoln counties employing 235 individuals and competitive programs serving more than 100 participants annually, BCI is one of Missouri’s leading organizations connecting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to employment.
BCI’s Spring Open House is free, but advance registration is requested at https://form.jotform.com/bciwebadmin/OHSP25. For more information, contact Dee Gerstenkorn at (636) 875-5245.
BCI will host a fall open house on Wednesday, October 15, at its Moscow Mills location for those who want to tour the Lincoln County facility.
